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.
Received a young plant in good condition and less than 10 days after planting, it has produced 2 new leaves.

The three plants were dry upon arrival, I'm trying to revive them.

Thank you for your response following my "complaint". This second fennel received today has been planted and I hope it will take root. It seems to be in better "shape" than the one from the first delivery.
Hello, I thank you for your response following my disappointment with my naked that did not "take".
Excellent after-sales service.
Kind regards.

Very disappointed upon opening the package. Two skinny necks and one young plant uprooted and even without roots out of its bucket, so lost.

Buckets well received in their packaging. Vine-plants in excellent condition.

Late delivery
The young plants arrived in poor condition due to a lengthy delivery delay, they were dispatched late and I only planted them in the open ground recently in September.

No foliage, 2 unhappy stems. If the product didn't have any label, the plant doesn't look like fennel at all.
