The feathery leaves flavour salads and fish, the tender bulb of Florence fennel is eaten as a vegetable, and the herb features in many traditional remedies.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Fennel dislikes root disturbance, so direct sow seeds \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;5-10 mm deep\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; in their final deep pot or bed.

Fennel grows best in cool weather and tends to bolt prematurely in summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow Fennel in a container to get saunf seeds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, use a deep pot or grow-bag of at least 12 inches to accommodate its taproot. Let a few plants flower fully and dry on the plant, then collect the seed heads for your own saunf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51051771724022,"sku":"SED-HRB-FENNEL-001","price":145.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-fennel-wild-common-herb-seeds-16969071853708.jpg?v=1782713955","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/fennel-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
