All reviews for category Foeniculum - Fennel

There's no need to worry about the small size upon receipt of this vine-plant. It immediately recovered and is growing rapidly. Very decorative and unique for 'calming down' the abundance of flowers in a flowerbed. I love it.

The plant I received is tiny with 3 thin stems and 2 tiny clusters of leaves. Not sure if it will ever reach its adult size!

The ordered young plant is indeed a bit small but in good health. The small leafs are of a beautiful colour and not withered. The delivery was fast, the packaging was careful and the plant well protected. A plant that had been previously ordered and had become magnificent, hosting the beautiful caterpillars of the Swallowtail butterfly.

Planted two years ago, the vine-plant is developing satisfactorily. I might have chosen a slightly heavy soil for it though, so I'm not sure if it will be able to reach the announced height of 1.50 m (5ft) to fully display its pendulous bronze foliage within the flowerbed. Patience...

The young plant has arrived in good condition, small but sturdy as it has survived the harsh winter this year without any issues and is starting off very well. I can't wait to see this spectacular plant thrive in the flowerbed corner that I have set aside for it.

naked young plant received without foliage, with a single small stick instead of a stem, in a 5 cm (2in) pot instead of 9, and with tiny roots. I don't know if it will withstand the transplantation.

Great. The young plant is small but it's a good price! Planted with compost and it has taken well. We'll see if it survives the winter.

Arrived very damaged after a week of delivery, it has recovered but the stem remains twisted despite the support.

This Bronze Fennel seems particularly resistant, just like its friend the "Vulgar" Fennel! Dear "Promise of Flowers", I have a few criticisms to make... They arrived in poor condition (several branches bent despite their flexibility), probably partly due to transportation but also due to poor packaging (19 plants in total in a thermoformed plastic packaging, with soil spilled in the box). I planted them on a small mound, then I had to tie each tiny branch one by one, with twine, to bamboo stakes (Note: first make a knot with the twine around the support, tighten it well so that the twine doesn't end up at the base of the support... then delicately wrap the small branch or trunk of the plant with the twine... without tightening excessively). ...then I kept an eye on them, especially since there was quite a bit of wind in the second half of April and in May. I also monitored the watering, although these fennels are rather frugal. Well, the end result is: apart from 2 or 3 small lost branches, the recovery has been perfect! The Bronze fennel, like the "Vulgar" one, have ultimately increased in size... and their pruning has multiplied by 5 in 1 and a half months! So, I recommend these plants, especially since they look really magnificent once mature. Thank you.

Very puny young plant. Some doubt about its recovery, it almost disappeared and seems to be recovering or adapting.
