Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a striking and versatile herb with feathery, aromatic foliage and a mild aniseed flavour. Both beautiful and useful, it’s great in the kitchen for flavouring fish dishes, salads, sauces and more – plus it’s a real head-turner in the garden with its tall, airy structure and yellow summer blooms.

Loved by pollinators and brilliant for adding height to herb beds or borders, fennel is a fantastic dual-purpose plant for gardeners and cooks alike.
