Bronze Fennel Seeds (Organic)
Bronze Fennel Seeds (Organic)
Kitchen's Bronze Touch
Organic Bronze Fennel, also known as "Foeniculum vulgare," is a cultivated variety valued for both its culinary use and ornamental appeal. Originating from the Mediterranean, this herbaceous perennial boasts feathery, bronze-colored foliage that adds a touch of elegance to gardens. The plant's appearance, characterized by delicate, lacy leaves and a striking bronze hue, makes it a sought-after addition for both aesthetic and culinary purposes.
Unlike some other vegetables, fennel doesn't produce fruits but rather develops aromatic seeds. These seeds are prized for their licorice-like flavor and are used as a spice in various cuisines, imparting a subtle sweet note to dishes. Additionally, the plant's leaves have a mild anise-like taste, ideal for adding flavor to salads, sauces, and seafood.
When cultivating Organic Bronze Fennel, it thrives in well-drained, fertile soil under full sun. It's crucial to ensure adequate spacing between plants to promote healthy growth. Regular watering is necessary, especially during dry spells, to maintain soil moisture. As a perennial, it will return each year, providing a steady supply of fresh foliage and seeds once established.
This herb is not only a culinary delight but also an attractant for beneficial insects like butterflies and bees due to its abundant nectar. Beyond its kitchen applications, its delicate foliage and charming appearance make it a popular choice for ornamental gardens, herb gardens, and landscaping schemes, where it adds a touch of grace and visual interest. With its dual purpose as a culinary herb and a decorative plant, Organic Bronze Fennel is a versatile addition to any garden.

from 9231 reviewsThe cute packaging caught my eye first. I love you can open it up sprinkle in the seeds you need to use, and then close it up for another time. It is compact and cute. I am eager to harvest my greens.
One of my favorites to grow…always get a good yield out of this one and the flavor is just…YUM!
I received these in August and they have braved the heat of the past 2 months. I have continued to water them to ensure they live. One tree looks much better than the other, although I see buds ready for next year on both. I can't wait for spring to see blooms, leaves and branches to begin.
huge bulbs made up of huge cloves; perfect quality for planting - very firm and paper in tact.
My order was prompt and just what I expected.
I purchased Elephant and Music garlic bulbs to plant in my zone 7 garden. They arrived as firm, healthy bulbs.
Heads were big with many large cloves. I am anticipating a great outcome in early summer 🧄
Our chickens love this forage.I was a little concerned growing this in south Florida however it is flourishing. Our new go to, thanks Peaceful Valley!
What a deal - top quality and only $20.99. Happy Frog is a premium brand.
I prepped my raised beds with Happy Frog Potting Soil. I love that it contains earthworms castings. Premium product!
Firm bulbs, excellent quality. I eagerly await the saffron harvest next Spring.
Lovely large bulbs, wonderful quality!
I planted a row of red chesnok. The color is stunning, excellent quality.
I just planted two rows of CA late white. Garlic bulbs look beautiful - great quality. Can't wait for harvest and for braiding time!
I have been ordering shallots from Grow Organic for a couple of years now. I had some problems with the shallots, I have to say they have the best customer service. I am a Master Gardener and have ordered 100's of different veggies seeds for years at many different companies as I buy seeds for the Master Garden's and never have experience such great customer service. I believe anything you buy from them you will be happy
