Grosfruchtiger Leaf Fennel Seed
Vigorous leaf production and sweet flavor.
Nonbulbing type. We found Grosfruchtiger to be the most flavorful fennel in our trials. Leaves are a nice addition to salads, coleslaw, and dressings. Flavor in fennel develops and intensifies as plants mature. Very young plants (baby-leaf stage) will have a mild fennel flavor, while mature plants (8–12" tall) will have a fuller fennel flavor.Specs:

Leaves and stems should be harvested for fresh used before the plant begins to flower. Roots may be harvested in the fall of the first year before the plant flowers. Fennel must usually be wintered over for seed production. It will bolt to produce seed the second summer in areas where it is grown as a biennial or perennial. Plants may produce seeds the first year in areas with a long cool spring. Harvest seeds as they begin to turn their characteristic grayish-green color.Note: Too much moisture at bloom time can prevent formation of seeds.
