Unlike herb fennel, this variety forms a tender, anise-flavoured bulb at the base, which is widely used in salads, roasting, and a variety of cooked dishes. The foliage can also be used as a garnish, offering a mild liquorice flavour. In Melbourne’s climate, Florence Fennel performs best in full sun with rich, well-drained soil and consistent moisture, particularly during bulb development. It is typically grown as a cool-season crop, thriving in autumn, winter, and early spring, as hot conditions can cause bolting. With proper care, it produces a clean, sweet bulb and adds both ornamental and edible value to kitchen gardens and raised beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"944\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"892\" data-end=\"901\"\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"904\"\u003eShrub - Clumping \/ Grass-like \/ Mounding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"1000\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"946\" data-end=\"962\"\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"965\"\u003eHeight: 60–100 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"985\"\u003eWidth: 30–50 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1013\"\u003eAspect:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003eFull Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1043\"\u003eDoes not flower under Melbourne's weather conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1133\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1098\" data-end=\"1116\"\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1119\"\u003eNot applicable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1251\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1154\"\u003eKey Attributes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1154\" data-end=\"1157\"\u003eAnnual\u003cbr data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1166\"\u003eCulinary vegetable\u003cbr data-start=\"1184\" data-end=\"1187\"\u003eEdible Bulb\u003cbr data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003eEdible Leaves\u003cbr data-start=\"1214\" data-end=\"1217\"\u003eFast growing\u003cbr data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1232\"\u003eSuitable for Pots\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1266\"\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1266\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003eNon-toxic to humans and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1367\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1300\" data-end=\"1321\"\u003eCompanion Plants:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1324\"\u003eLettuce\u003cbr data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003eSpinach\u003cbr data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1344\"\u003eOnion\u003cbr data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1352\"\u003eBeetroot\u003cbr data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1363\"\u003eDill\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tavistock","offers":[{"title":"TRAY OF 12 X 10CM POTS","offer_id":47761871503525,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/2911\/0693\/files\/Fennel-FlorenceFoeniculumvulgarevar.azoricum.png?v=1777186742","url":"https:\/\/theplantbroker.com.au\/products\/fennel-florence","provider":"The Plant Broker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
