Bronze Fennel

Bronze Fennel can be used in place of Green Fennel in any recipe, and the soft wispy leaves with their unique color add a lot of visual interest in the flower or herb garden. With a height of four feet, Bronze Fennel makes a perfect back of the border plant for cottage gardens. By the end of the summer it will put up tall spikes of large nectar-filled, yellow flowers that are attractive to many butterflies and pollinators and will eventually dry and create a bountiful harvest of fennel seeds. A prized host plant for the Eastern Black Swallowtail butterfly and caterpillar.
