Dragon Hybrid Fennel

‘Dragon’ is a striking hybrid fennel prized for its large, elongated white bulbs, sweet flavor, and aromatic, juicy flesh. Upright plants produce dense bulbs topped with lush, dark green fronds, giving this variety both strong garden appeal and excellent kitchen value. Its later maturity also helps extend the fennel harvest beyond earlier varieties.

Start ‘Dragon’ indoors for transplanting about ¼ inch deep. Space plants about 18 inches apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs well in warm growing conditions and benefits from fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

Ready to harvest in about 90 days, begin cutting the bulbs once they are full, firm, and well developed while the flesh is still tender and juicy.

Sweet, aromatic, and versatile, ‘Dragon’ is excellent for fresh eating, roasting, sautéing, braising, and everyday cooking.
