Bronze Fennel Plants
Towering over 5 feet tall, fennel lends a fragrant, funky, and edible backdrop to your garden. Bronze Fennel has firecracker blooms in a muted yellow that bees adore, and the lacy leaves make a delicious addition to the kitchen garden (they taste like licorice). Dope bouquet filler as well; very cottage-fantasy. To boot- they're perennial! We love this utility player of a plant. What a guy!
Includes three young plants, grown in 2.5" diameter pots.
