HERBY GOODNESS
What would we do without fennel? This
truly is a plant for all seasons. From fluffy
foliaged beginnings in spring, it emerges
as a statuesque and forthright herbaceous
perennial in summer, with architectural
umbelliferous flowers. It then fades
elegantly into October and giving us a last
hurrah as a frost-rimed skeleton in the
depths of winter. All this and the ability
to lend a good deal of zip to our cooking.
Foeniculum vulgare
Easy to grow, although has a tendency to
self-seed expansively if happy. Either deadhead
(leaving a few seedheads for winter) or prepare
for some weeding. H x S 2m x 30cm
