Bronze Fennel is a dramatic, aromatic perennial herb prized for its feathery, deep bronze-purple foliage and airy clusters of golden-yellow flowers. Blooming in mid-to-late summer, this striking variety adds rich color, height, and texture to herb gardens, pollinator borders, and cottage landscapes. With the same sweet, anise-like fragrance and culinary versatility as green fennel, Bronze Fennel is both ornamental and functional — a standout plant for gardeners who love beauty with purpose.
Wildlife Benefits: Bronze Fennel’s nectar-rich flower umbels attract bees, butterflies, and a wide array of beneficial insects. Its delicate foliage serves as a host plant for swallowtail butterfly caterpillars, supporting the full lifecycle of these beloved pollinators.
Medicinal Benefits: Traditionally used to support digestion and ease bloating, Bronze Fennel contains beneficial essential oils and antioxidants. The seeds are commonly brewed into soothing teas, while the leaves can be used fresh or dried in culinary dishes and herbal blends to promote digestive wellness.
Native Status: Native to the Mediterranean region, fennel varieties thrive in warm climates and adapt beautifully to Georgia’s growing conditions.
Pollinator Friendliness: With its umbrella-like flower clusters, Bronze Fennel is a magnet for pollinators and beneficial predatory insects like ladybugs and lacewings, helping create a balanced garden ecosystem.
Height: 3–6 feet
Spacing: 12–24 inches
Sun/Shade: Requires Full Sun
How to Grow: Bronze Fennel thrives in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Plant in a sunny location with room to grow, as it develops a tall, airy structure. Avoid planting near dill to prevent cross-pollination. Harvest leaves as needed and allow some flower heads to mature for seed collection or natural reseeding.
Add rich color, pollinator support, and herbal versatility to your garden with Bronze Fennel — a resilient, eye-catching herb that blends ornamental beauty with culinary and medicinal value.
Available in 2.5 inch pots
