Highlights

  • Striking bronze-purple feathery foliage with large late-summer yellow flower heads; grows to about 1.8m and provides a dramatic centrepiece in borders and herb gardens.
  • Produces mild, aromatic seeds prized for baking, salads, pasta and fennel tea; harvest ripe seeds or remove flower heads to limit self-seeding.
  • Perennial and pollinator-friendly pack of three 9cm potted plants that thrives in well-draining, humus-rich soil in partial sun or partial shade.

Description

Marshalls Garden Foeniculum vulgare 'Purpureum' (Bronze Fennel) supplied as three plants in 9cm pots. This ornamental herb forms handsome clumps of bronze-purple, feathery foliage and crowns them in late summer with large heads of tiny yellow flowers that attract bees. Plants reach approximately 1.8m and perform best in well-draining soil rich in organic matter with regular moisture during dry spells. Both leaves and seeds are edible; the seeds have a milder, delicate flavour suitable for breads, biscuits, salads, vegetable dishes and fennel tea. To prevent self-seeding, remove spent flower heads or cut plants back to about 30cm after flowering. Best planted from April and ideal for borders, herb gardens or containers.

Product Care InstructionsGrowing herbs can be a rewarding and simple endeavor, whether you’re cultivating them indoors, on a balcony, or in a garden. Prepare the SoilHerbs generally prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.For outdoor planting, amend the soil with compost or organic matter to ensure it drains well but retains some moisture. For containers, use a high-quality potting mix or make your own with equal parts potting soil, perlite, and compost. Planting Your HerbsPlant spacing: Ensure each herb has enough room to grow. For example, basil and mint need about 12-18 inches, while chives or parsley can be spaced closer together (6-8 inches apart). WateringKeep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Herbs don’t like to sit in soggy soil.Watering frequency depends on your climate, the container size, and soil type, but generally, water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.Avoid overhead watering to prevent mildew. Water at the base of the plant to keep the leaves dry. SunlightMost herbs require at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If you're growing herbs indoors, a south-facing windowsill is ideal. If you have limited sunlight, you can use grow lights designed for plants.Some herbs, like mint, parsley, and cilantro, can tolerate partial shade, but most, like basil and thyme, thrive in full sun. FertilisingHerbs are generally light feeders. Use a balanced, slow-release fertiliser or organic options like compost or fish emulsion.Over-fertilising can lead to overly lush growth with less flavor. Apply fertiliser sparingly, about once a month during the growing season.If you're growing herbs in containers, you may need to fertilise more often as container soil nutrients are quickly depleted.
