soft, sweet and warming

Fennel is a mild and aromatic plant with a slightly sweet flavor reminiscent of anise. It has long been used both as a spice and as a soothing herb, especially in tea.

The seeds are best known, but the leaves can also be used. The flavor is round and warm, and gives a feeling of softness and balance. Fennel is often used after meals and is appreciated for its calming effect on the body.

The plant is tall and airy with fine, dill-like leaves that move softly in the wind. It thrives in sunny locations and gives your herb garden a slightly wilder and more natural look.

To grow fennel is to invite warmth, softness, and a quiet strength.
