Fennel 'Doux de Florence'
With soft feathery leaves that add a subtle anise flavour to simple dishes and seeds that can be used in vinegars and pickles, Fennel Florence produces edible bulbs that can be roasted, sauteed or eaten raw. The plant also helps in the war against cabbage white butterfly - the flowers attract a native wasp that is a natural predator of this vegie garden pest.
How to grow
Fennel is best planted in cooler months to avoid bolting.
