plant picture 'Mammoth' Fennel

This fantastic strain from Italy grows well in the UK, forming a really nice big white bulb (though 'mammoth' is overstating it a tad in our opinion) with less tendency to bolt than other varieties that we have tried.

Consistently popular every year, it’s one we rely on in the veg patch.

Good for salads or cooking. Sow after mid-summer for autumn harvest

plant picture'Colossal' Fennel

Another excellent strain of fennel from Italy, again named with a certain amount of excessive enthusiasm, but we find that this does make good big bulbs without any fuss, and is quite reliable in the UK climate.

A reliable large fennel. Sow after mid-summer for autumn harvest

plant picture 'Mantovano' Spring-sowable Fennel

Fennel is normally sown in mid-summer, as it tends to bolt (go straight to seed) if planted in Spring. But this variety was bred for spring sowing, with strong bolt resistance. It produces a nice white bulb, with a slightly flattened shape. It can of course also be sown later in the year as normal.

When? Bolt resistant, particularly worth trying for spring sowing and a summer harvest.
