Fennel Bronze is a majestic architectural herb cultivated largely for its stunning, smoky-bronze foliage, which adds height and drama to any border. While it produces aromatic seeds and feathery leaves that carry a distinct, sweet aniseed flavour perfect for garnishing salads or pairing with fish, it is often treated as an ornamental plant. It is traditionally used to add texture and colour contrast in flower beds, and its flat-topped yellow flower heads are a magnet for hoverflies and solitary bees. This plant is typically grown as a hardy perennial that dies back to the ground in winter before sending up tall, vigorous plumes in spring. It creates a soft, airy screen in the garden but can self-seed freely if the flower heads are left to mature. For the best results and deepest leaf colour, plant it in a location with full sun. It is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in light, well-drained soil, though it will rot in heavy, waterlogged ground.
