Unit price perFoeniculum 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

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
