Fennel · common
Zefa Fino
Swiss-bred for bolt resistance and reliable bulb formation. Round, white bulbs with a clean anise flavour. If you've tried growing fennel before and it bolted before bulbing, this is the one to try next. It actually wants to form a bulb.

Fennel, blood orange, and olive salad
Shave the bulb paper-thin, arrange with blood orange segments and black olives. Dress with olive oil and a pinch of salt. A Sicilian winter salad that brightens everything around it.
