Exquisitely bronzed fronds that make a stunning edible ground cover. This is not a fennel for bulb production; harvest the leaves and chop them finely for tossing fresh atop a finished dish, like parsley. Its beautiful bronze hue adds an intriguing contrast to herb gardens, container gardens, and borders. Don't be afraid to let it flower: it's bushy yellow blooms host swallowtail butterflies, and the anise-flavored seeds are delicious in baking, meat dishes, and more. It grows quickly, spreads easily, and self-sows.
