Fennel


Fennel is a wonderfully aromatic herb that grows from 3-5 feet tall. It has feathery leaves and large flower umbrels. You can harvest the fennel bulb and use it in many tasty dishes and the seeds can be used to make a tea for digestive upsets. Fennel will reseed itself. It is also a host plant for butterfly larvae.
