Originating from traditional Mediterranean gardens, Dragon Fennel is a striking and flavorful addition to your fall and winter garden. This hardy fennel thrives in cooler temperatures but can also tolerate occasional warmth, making it perfect for Southern California’s seasonal shifts. The crisp, slightly sweet bulbs are excellent shaved into salads, roasted for a cozy side dish, or caramelized for a rich, savory flavor. The feathery fronds add a fresh, aromatic touch to soups, stews, or roasted vegetables. As a fennel that truly shines in the cooler months, Dragon Fennel is a must-have for your seasonal garden!
