Spiced fennel is fennel without a tuber. The seeds of the plant are used. These are sweet and have an intense aroma. That is why the spiced fennel is also called sweet fennel. Spiced fennel is used in teas, as a spice for meat, fish, and salads, and also as a remedy, for example against stomach problems. Nowadays it is mainly grown in France. The cultivation of spiced fennel is particularly attractive for hobby gardeners, as this plant is very robust and easy to care for. It survives the winter well with us because it is very frost-tolerant. The inflorescences also give off an intense smell in the garden.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/a5cda241cc3d7f27ec56fb9486633b83.jpg\" alt=\"Fennel varieties: new, old &amp; resistant varieties for the garden\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wild_fennel\"><\/span>Wild fennel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A close relative of anise ( <em>Pimpinella anisum<\/em> ), caraway ( <em>Carum carvi<\/em> ), and dill ( <em>Anethum graveolens<\/em> ) is the wild fennel.

For the climate in Germany, we recommend using only bullet-resistant varieties. In our latitudes, year-round cultivation of fennel is not possible because it is only slightly frost-tolerant and freezes to death in winter. So if you don&#8217;t have a greenhouse or are at home in favorable locations &#8211; such as wine-growing regions, for example &#8211; you can only grow fennel in the summer months. So that the vegetables do not start to shoot in the warm season, i.e. develop inflorescences, shoot-resistant varieties are recommended.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You might so like<\/strong>: <a class=\"yoast-link-suggestion__value\" href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/marjoram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marjoram: How To Grow Spicy Aroma In The Garden<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Well-tried_types_of_fennel\"><\/span>Well-tried types of fennel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u02c8Di Parma Sel.
