Fennel ‘Florence’ Heirloom Seeds
Versatile and full of flavour, Florence Fennel is a classic heirloom variety valued for its crisp white bulb, aromatic stems and feathery leaves.
Every part of the plant can be used, from the bulb to the foliage and seeds, making it a true garden-to-kitchen staple. The bulb has mild, sweet flesh that holds its colour well when cooked, while the stems and leaves bring a stronger, celery-like flavour.
Thriving in cooler conditions, fennel benefits from colder weather, which helps convert starches into sugars for a sweeter, more tender harvest.
