Fennel seeds
The Smarties.bio fennel seeds are selected for the professional production of bulb/fruit fennel, for the fresh market and IV range. The range includes varieties suited to the main cultivation windows — spring, summer, and autumn — with uniform bulbs/fruits, white with a smooth texture, low in fiber, and tolerant to bolting.
Within our catalog you can find different types of fennel, from the earliest Trillo (75 days) and Lidio (80–85 days), to the later Accordo (90–95 days) and Tenore (110–120 days), allowing for a year-round harvest.
The range is completed by the wild fennel version XS324.
Sold as pelleted seed, to facilitate mechanical sowing in nurseries and manual sowing in plug trays.

BULB/FRUIT FENNEL: CHARACTERISTICS AND CULTIVATION
Bulb fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. azoricum) is a typically Mediterranean crop with autumn, winter, and spring cycles. For professional production, varietal choice based on the cultivation window is essential: summer varieties require high tolerance to bolting, while autumn and winter varieties must ensure uniform sizing.
Our seeds are sold as pelleted seed, to facilitate mechanical sowing in nurseries and manual sowing in plug trays.
