3 or 6 Fennel Herb Plants – Fresh Live Perennial Kitchen Garden Herbs, Outdoor Ready, 1 Litre Root Ball
Add a wonderful aromatic herb to your kitchen garden with this set of three Fennel plants. Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a versatile culinary herb prized for its distinctive aniseed flavour, feathery foliage and attractive yellow flower heads. Every part of this plant can be used in the kitchen – from the delicate fronds in salads and sauces to the seeds in breads and spice blends.
Supplied as three established plants, each grown in a 1 litre pot, these Fennel herbs are outdoor ready and well-rooted for reliable establishment in borders, raised beds, herb gardens or large containers. Fennel is a robust, easy-to-grow perennial that will return year after year, providing a long season of fresh harvests and bringing height and structure to your planting scheme.
In summer, tall stems produce flat-topped clusters of tiny yellow flowers that are highly attractive to bees, hoverflies and other beneficial pollinators, making Fennel a valuable addition to any wildlife-friendly garden.
