Find helpful information about Florence fennel seed planting, bulb development, and harvesting.
Sow Florence fennel seeds approximately 1/4 inch deep in fertile, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny location and maintain consistent moisture. Thin seedlings to approximately 6–12 inches apart to provide enough room for bulb development. Germination generally takes around 7–14 days under suitable conditions.
Florence fennel may develop small or poorly formed bulbs due to high temperatures, overcrowding, insufficient watering, or unsuitable growing conditions. Plant during cooler weather, provide fertile soil, maintain consistent moisture, and allow enough spacing between plants to encourage healthy bulb development.
Florence fennel bulbs are generally ready for harvesting approximately 80–100 days after sowing, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Harvest when the swollen leaf bases reach a useful size and are firm. Regularly check the plants before they begin flowering or bolting.
