Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation: Fennel seeds generally do not require any special preparation. Ensure they are fresh and viable.

Sowing:

Plant seeds directly into well-prepared soil after the last frost date in your area.
Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically takes 7-14 days.
Germination is best in soil temperatures between 60-70 °F (15-21 °C).

Transplanting:

Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart when they are a few inches tall to allow room for growth.
Fennel can also be started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost for earlier planting outdoors.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogged conditions.
Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Remove flower heads promptly to prevent self-sowing and to encourage leafy growth.
Harvest leaves as needed; seeds are ready when they turn brown and dry on the plant.
