The Romanesco Fennel adds a touch of elegance to any garden with its tall stems and delicate, feathery green foliage. Unlike the fennel typically found in the herb section, which is cultivated for its leaves, Florence Fennel focuses on the bulbous, swollen base.
A summer-sowing variety, this fennel boasts tall stems and graceful, feathery green foliage. It develops substantial, succulent bulbs that lend themselves to being chopped raw for salads, braised as a vegetable, or incorporated into flavorful winter casseroles. With a gentle aniseed taste and a texture reminiscent of celery, it provides a versatile addition to culinary creations. The leaves are particularly suitable for flavoring fish dishes.
This variety is characterized by high bolting resistance, making it optimal for late cropping. Leaves can be harvested in June, while bulbs are ready for harvest from September onwards.
