Territorial Requirements
fennel grows in well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5-6.8. Transplanting or sowing should be done in a sunny location for best results. Because it is a Mediterranean crop, it grows as an annual plant. It withstands light frosts but does not reach the maximum yields when low temperatures prevail during ripening.
There are about 200 seeds per gram.
