About Wadenromen

An heirloom treasure from Europe, known for its richly aromatic bulbs and strong, lingering anise flavor. A mid-to-late season variety that forms generous, oval-shaped bulbs, perfect for slow cooking or roasting. The flavor is bold and clean. sweet at first, then warmly spiced, with a finish that stays with you. Also a great choice of fennel for harvesting seeds for the spice cupboard, which are especially high in fragrant oils. A versatile, time-tested variety for both kitchen and apothecary. Plant fennel in early spring or late summer to avoid heat stress, which triggers bolting. Keep soil consistently moist and cool, and avoid disturbing the roots when transplanting.
