Florence fennel FAQ
When should I plant Florence fennel?
Grow it in cool weather. In cold regions (zones 3–6), sow in spring or midsummer for a fall crop; in warm regions (zones 8–10), sow in early fall. Spring sowings often bolt once heat arrives.
How do I get a good bulb?
Keep soil evenly moist and grow in cool weather. Some gardeners hill soil around the swelling base to keep it white and tender.
Can I transplant fennel?
Fennel has a taproot and dislikes transplanting, so direct sowing or small cell transplants work best.
Can I grow it in a container?
Yes, in a deep pot at least 12 inches deep, one plant per 10–12 inch pot.
