Ferula Tingitana

Tangier giant fennel is a commanding Mediterranean perennial with a spring mound of finely divided, glossy green foliage and towering branching stems topped by broad umbels of yellow-green flowers. The fern-like leaves create a fresh architectural effect, while the rigid flowering framework remains impressive as seed ripens. Native to Morocco, the Iberian Peninsula and nearby Mediterranean regions, it grows rapidly in the cool season and rests through summer drought. Its scale and ancient giant-fennel character make it memorable in a spacious gravel garden with deep soil and perfect drainage.
