Foeniculum vulgare 'Purpurascens'
Bronze Fennel is a striking ornamental and culinary herb with delicate, feathery foliage flushed in rich coppery-bronze tones. Growing as a graceful perennial to around 1.5–2 m tall, it provides colour, texture and height in herb gardens, cottage gardens and ornamental borders. The finely divided leaves have a pleasant aniseed flavour and are delicious as a garnish, in salads, with seafood or scattered over roasted vegetables. In summer, tall stems are topped with airy yellow flower umbels that are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects.
Both the foliage and seeds are aromatic and edible, while the flowers make an excellent addition to fresh or dried floral arrangements. Bronze Fennel also serves as a valuable host plant for swallowtail butterfly caterpillars.

Planting / Sowing
Sow seed 5 mm deep in well-drained soil in a sunny position. Direct sow where the plants are to grow or transplant carefully while young, as fennel develops a deep taproot. Space plants 45–60 cm apart and water regularly during establishment. Harvest the young foliage as required and allow flower heads to mature if seed is desired.

Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce
Florence Romanesco, also known as Finocchio, is a traditional Italian heirloom grown for its crisp, swollen white bulb with a sweet, mild anise flavour. The bulb can be enjoyed raw in salads or cooked by roasting, braising, or grilling, while the feathery leaves and aromatic seeds are also widely used in the kitchen. Plants thrive in rich, well drained soil and attract butterflies and other beneficial insects to the garden. Blanch the bulbs by mounding soil around their bases as they develop to produce tender, pale stems.
Approximately 120 seeds per packet

Tropics: April to July
Subtropics: March to August
Mild climates: Autumn and spring
Cold climates: Spring to early autumn
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed directly or raise seedlings, planting 5–10 mm deep in fertile, well drained soil in full sun. Space plants 25–30 cm apart. Keep the soil evenly moist and mound soil around the developing bulb to blanch it for a sweeter, more tender harvest.

Foeniculum vulgare Mill.
Also known as Mont Blanc or Alpine Fennel, this mid to late season Florence fennel produces large, round, tightly wrapped white bulbs with sturdy, solid stalks and crisp, sweet flesh. A vigorous variety with deep green foliage, it matures slightly earlier than many other bulb fennels and performs particularly well in the cooler conditions of autumn, while still growing reliably through spring and early summer. The bulbs are delicious sliced raw into salads or roasted, grilled and braised, while the feathery leaves and aromatic seeds can also be used in cooking.
Florence fennel is grown primarily for its swollen bulb, known in Italian as finocchio. For the palest, sweetest bulbs, mound soil around the base as the plants grow, similar to blanching celery. Its flowers are highly attractive to butterflies and other beneficial insects.

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to August
Subtropics: March to May and August to October

Cold climates: September to November
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed 10 mm deep directly into rich, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Thin or transplant carefully to 25–30 cm apart, taking care not to disturb the taproot. Keep plants evenly watered to encourage tender, well-formed bulbs and prevent bolting. As bulbs begin to swell, gently mound soil around the base to blanch them and improve flavour. Harvest when bulbs are firm and approximately 8–10 cm across.

Planting / Sowing
Surface sow or lightly press seed into a fine seed-raising mix without covering, as light assists germination. Keep evenly moist and maintain temperatures of 18–22°C until seedlings emerge. Transplant into a sunny position with well-drained soil, spacing plants 30–40 cm apart. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming or leave some to set seed for natural self-sowing.

Dianella caerulea
Dianella caerulea, commonly known as Blue Flax Lily, is a hardy Australian native perennial with attractive blue-green, grass-like foliage. Widely used in Australian gardens and public landscaping, it is valued for its toughness, adaptability and ability to grow in areas where many other plants struggle.
In spring and summer, slender stems rise above the foliage carrying delicate blue to purple star-shaped flowers with prominent yellow stamens. These are followed by striking glossy blue to purple berries, providing interest well beyond the flowering season.
Plants gradually form dense clumps and are well suited to native gardens, borders, mass plantings and areas beneath established trees. Highly adaptable, Blue Flax Lily grows in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a range of soil types, including relatively dry and shaded positions once established.
Approximately 25 seeds per packet
