‘Smokey’ is a bronze fennel with a traditional aniseed flavour, perfect for using in fish and chicken dishes. It also has a beautiful presence in a container or border with its attractive orange-tinted, feathery foliage and yellow summer flowers!
Please note herbaceous plants naturally die-back during the colder months. We always ensure plants have at least some growth during this time, however when buying during October through to March, the growth may be minimal and there may be blemishes from winter cold.

Plant Care
Please remember that you're not buying 9cm tall plants. 9cm refers to the diameter of the pot commonly used in plant retail.
The size of the plant can vary greatly.
Most will be between 10-30cm tall unless they are naturally low growing plants or if you are buying herbaceous plants in winter.
