About This Food
Unlike it's cousin, common fennel, which is prized for it's feathery leaves, Florence fennel, Foeniculum vulgare var. azoricum, forms a bulb at the base of the plant that is harvested and eaten like a vegetable. The plant itself only grows 2-3 ft tall, which makes it an ideal candidate for smaller gardens. The plants can even be grown in containers, although a minimum 5-gallon container is needed to provide a highly fertile and consistently moist soil. Any check in growth will induce bolting, robbing you of the harvest of bulbs.
