Dragon
Dragon Hybrid Fennel produces large, plump, juicy bulbs with a delicious anise flavor. The bulbs add a refreshing flavor to summer salads and are also good steamed, braised, grilled, boiled or sautéed. We also like adding them to soup. An improvement on older types, Dragon Fennel is suitable for intermediate-day growing areas and less likely to prematurely bolt or yellow. It's also easier to grow and less sensitive to stressors, such as heat, lack of water and extreme temperatures changes. 75-90 DAYS.

Preludio
Hybrid. Very early, heavy bulbs with superb flavor—a major improvement in hybrid fennel. This variety stood out in our trials with its lightly sweet flavor, uniformity and ability to hold in the field without bolting. Upright plants are easy to harvest. Early variety recommended for spring and summer harvest with good fall performance as well. From our partners at Vitalis Organic Seeds.
