Fennel seeds — feathery, anise-scented herb and bulb

Fennel is one of the most distinctive herbs you can grow, prized for its feathery foliage, aniseed-sweet flavour and, in some types, its swollen edible bulb. Botanically it is Foeniculum vulgare, a stalwart of our wider culinary herb range. New to herbs from seed? Begin with our herb growing guide.

Fennel is happiest sown straight into warm soil — the herb calendar shows exactly when to start.

Herb fennel and Florence fennel

There are two broad camps. Herb (or common) fennel is grown for its aromatic leaves and seeds, while Florence fennel — finocchio — forms the crisp, bulbous base loved in Mediterranean cooking. Both are aromatic to the core, sitting comfortably among our aromatic herbs, and as a hardy plant herb fennel returns reliably as one of our perennial herbs.

Growing fennel from seed

Fennel dislikes root disturbance, so sow it where it is to grow once the soil has warmed, thinning seedlings to give each plant room. Keep it watered through dry spells to stop bulbs bolting, and give it full sun for the best flavour. Its tall, airy flower umbels are a magnet for hoverflies and bees, making it as useful to the garden as to the kitchen.

From kitchen herb to pollinator favourite, fennel rewards a sunny spot — here is where to take it next.

Is fennel easy to grow from seed?
Yes. Fennel germinates readily in warm soil. It dislikes being transplanted, so sow it directly where it is to grow and thin the seedlings. What is the difference between herb fennel and Florence fennel?
Herb fennel is grown for its aromatic leaves and seeds, while Florence fennel (finocchio) forms a swollen, crisp bulb at the base for cooking. When should I sow fennel?
Sow once the soil has warmed in spring. Our herb sowing calendar gives the ideal timing for your conditions. Does fennel attract pollinators?
Very much so. Its tall umbels of tiny flowers are a magnet for hoverflies, bees and other beneficial insects.
