Florence Fennel 'Zefa Fino' Seeds

Florence Fennel 'Zefa Fino' Seeds

This variety produces large, rounded, white bulbs with crispy scales. Resistant to bolting and excellent for successional cropping. Bulbs have delicious, aniseed crunch, and can be eaten raw in salads, or cooked. Foliage makes an ideal garnish. When flowerheads fade, allow seedheads to fully ripen before harvesting seeds to use as a spice.

  • Further Information
Common Name: Florence Fennel
Latin Name: Foeniculum vulgare
Position: Full Sun to Partial Sun
Height: 90cm
Spread: 15cm
Growing Info:
Best sown in-situ as Florence Fennel does not like root disturbance. Feb-Apr or Jun-July, sow outdoors in rows 15mm deep and cover with fine soil. Once germinated, thin out the seedlings to 25cm apart. Once the bulbs start to swell, mound up earth around them to exclude light, keeping them white. This will also protect them from Autumn frosts.
Aftercare:
Keep weed free. Plants should be kept consistently watered or add mulch to retain moisture. Harvest bulbs as and when required and use within a few days, as bulbs lose their flavour quickly.
