Sweet Fennel - Perennial Herb - Live Plant - 3" Pot

Fennel is a perennial with feathery leaves. This garden herb has a delicate aniseed flavor and is often used to flavor fish dishes and soups. It grows up to 5 feet tall. The leaves can be used as a garnish. The swollen leaf base is eaten, and the seeds are used for flavoring.

As fennel plants are tall, consider the best location for them when planning in your garden (you may wish to plant it at the back). Also, since it's a perennial, you will want to plant it in an area that's convenient for allowing it to stay in that gardening location (it comes back every year).

If growing this vegetable in cooler climates, cut the plant down to about 8” tall in the fall to help it winter over and to prepare it to grow again in the spring.
