Enjoy the attractive foliage as a delicious addition to salads or as a fresh garnish, while the versatile plant also offers uses for homemade remedies and softening rough hands. Each packet contains 250 seeds, ready for direct sowing in full sun from March to July, and with proper care, you'll harvest tasty stems, leaves and seeds throughout the season. Direct sow fennel seeds outdoors from March to July into well-prepared soil in full sun when temperatures reach around 13-18°C (55-64F). Sow seeds thinly into drills one centimetre deep and 38cm apart. When fennel seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 30cm apart. Make regular sowings for a successional harvest. When growing fennel, keep plants well watered, particularly during hot, dry periods. Fennel leaves can be harvested at any time. For fennel seeds, allow the flowers to fade and harvest once the seed heads have fully ripened. The tasty stems can be cut when they reach tennis ball size.
