Bronze Fennel Seeds
Add dramatic colour and texture to your garden with Bronze Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare 'Purpureum'). This stunning hardy perennial boasts clouds of finely-cut, feathery foliage in shades of smoky bronze and deep purple. In summer, it sends up tall stems topped with flat umbels of tiny yellow flowers, which are an absolute magnet for bees, hoverflies, and other beneficial insects.
It is very easy for it to produce new plants from its own seeds, so if you do not want any more of them, you should remove the seed heads after the flowers have died.
A star performer in our Seeds for Pollinators collection and a beautiful addition to the Herb Seeds or Perennial Seeds border!
