Bronze fennel

What a fantastic plant this is! A very easy yet graceful perennial for just about any spot where height is needed. It begins as a soft, brown, round, fragrant yet wonderfully tactile bush that demands to be caressed. Then it slowly unfurls, adds a deep green hue, straightens and stretches to its elegant height of 2m and opens out plate like heads of yellow flowers. And as if all this isn't enough, it pays you for having it your garden by producing hundred of aniseed seeds for cooking - or to grow more fennel.
