Fennel
Foeniculum vulgare dulce
Perennial - Zones 5-10.
In late spring or early summer, sow seeds directly into the garden about 1/8" deep about 6 to 12" apart. Prefers well drained soil and full sun. Heavy clay soils will hinder seed growth. The beds should be kept moist for 2 weeks or until the first leaves appear. Take care then not to overwater.
