FENNEL ‘Orion F1’
Foeniculum vulgare
One of the best bulbing fennel we have trialled. The rounded bulbs are medium to large, thick with a very crisp anise flavour. Harvest either in late summer/autumn or early spring, depending upon when sown. A vegetable that we use in salads with apple, walnuts and lettuce or chicory. Also used in soups, with fish or grill for a distinct delicious flavour. A good yielding variety. Treated seed (thiram). 20 seeds.
Sowing Instructions
Sow direct or into cells to transplant into garden once frosts have passed. Fertile, well drained soil produces the best bulbs. Mound soil around the stem to blanch.
