This picture shows why this plant is called Bronze fennel.  The new leaves come out this beautiful bronze color.

 

We love this plant.  We add the leaves and even slices of the small bulbs to our salads.  It is so fresh and tasty.

 

Best of all, the black swallowtail butterflies lay their eggs in the leaves for their caterpillars to feed upon when they hatch.

 

Win/win/win.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
