| Sweet Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. azoricum 'Trieste') |
Have Seeds Hybrid Collected or purchased 2023 Fruits & Vegetables Full Sun |
RG 2023 This delicately flavored vegetable is also known as finocchio or Florence fennel. Plants form pale green flattened oval to round bulbs at soil level with feathery dark green tops. Premium Trieste is a new bolt-resistant hybrid from France bred for top flavor and tenderness. Its refined, juicy-crisp flesh is marvelous sliced in salads and its wonderful nutty anise flavor softens and mellows when cooked. Grill Trieste over glowing coals or sauté to succulent melting sweetness. For tender, best-quality bulbs, fennel needs rich soil and cool growing weather, so sow seeds as early as the ground can be worked and again in midsummer for fall harvesting. Be sure seedlings are thinned or transplanted 10 to12 inches apart. Keep plants evenly moist throughout the growing season – mulching is a good strategy. Fennel is a heavy feeder, so fertilize every 2 to 3 weeks with a high nitrogen fertilizer such as fish emulsion. Cold Winters - May Mild Winters - March - April & July - August Sow Seeds - 4 inches apart & 1/2 inch deep Days to Germinate - 14 - 21 days Days to Harvest - Approx. 90 |
