Growing Information
Vulcan | F1 Autumn Winter Fennel Seed
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Foeniculum vulgare
CULTURE: Bulb fennel prefers fertile, well drained soils high in organic matter with a pH of 6.5-7.5. Adequate irrigation is needed to produce high-yielding and flavorful crops. Whenever possible, fennel should be planted to mature in shortening days with cooler temperatures, as high heat and long days encourage bolting.
DIRECT SEEDING: Sow midspring through early summer, 10 seeds/30cm, 6mm deep, rows 45cm apart. Thin to 15cm apart.
TRANSPLANTING: Use 25-50mm cell-type containers, sowing 3 seeds/cell, 6mm deep. Thin to 1 plant/cell. Grow for 4-6 weeks or until plants can be removed without disturbing roots. Transplant outdoors in midspring to late summer 15cm apart. Use care as disturbing the roots may cause bolting. Clip off any seed stalks that may form.
HARVEST: When base thickens, use sharp pruners to cut bulb free just above taproot. Cut off leaf petioles 25mm-50mm above bulb to prepare for sale or storage.
STORAGE: Best at 0°C with 95% relative humidity.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding.
