description

‘Dragon’ fennel is a remarkable variety that brings an elegant silhouette to the vegetable garden and a harvest that is both refined and generous. Appreciated for its round, crisp, and pure white bulbs that resist yellowing well, it combines visual beauty with excellent taste quality. Its mild, aniseed flavor enriches fresh salads as well as grilled or sautéed dishes, providing the gardener-cook with a harvest that is as aromatic as it is versatile. Its high heat tolerance and slow bolting make it a particularly interesting choice for extending the production season from spring to autumn. In the garden, its fine, feathery foliage adds lightness to the beds, while sometimes attracting beneficial insects when left in place longer. Grown in organic-rich, well-drained, and consistently moist soil, it develops firm, well-formed bulbs that are distinguished by their tender and crisp texture. Its presence gracefully structures the vegetable garden, while offering a useful and flavorful harvest for fresh and inspired cuisine. ‘Dragon’ fennel thus combines finesse, productivity, and horticultural charm in a crop that is as elegant as it is delicious.
