I highly recommend adding some of this bronze fennel to your landscape if you are looking for a variety of texture and color to add to a bed. Be sure you put it behind things that might be shorter as this one can get....well let's just say down south, I've seen it 5 feet tall. A couple in herb bed are 2 feet tall right now and the weather is just now warming up. This one gets a bit more shade and hasn't grown quite as much.
My main purpose for planting it though has been to try to entice in the butterflies that I so miss from down south. This plant is known to be one they will lay eggs on and their larvae will enjoy dining on it.
