Description/Taste
Fennel is an upright perennial herb that can grow three to ten feet tall. The plant has thick, ribbed, hollow stems that grow from its rooted bulb (known as the crown). From the stem, feathery foliage, that look similar to dill, sprout off. As the plant matures, it creates an umbrella-shaped cluster of bright yellow flowers. Fennel has a sweet, licorice-like flavor and citrus notes.
