Foeniculum vulgare ‘Purpurascens’

An outstanding plant in the border, providing a hazy contrast to more solid colors and foliage. Try it with Lupinus ‘Chandelier’, Lilium ‘Connecticut King’, and Anthemis kelwayii. Will form a big clump and self seed unless you deadhead (which is easily done in the Autumn).
