seeds came from Treviso in North Italy -

Fennel grows as nice sized white bulbs, the raddicio is trevisan variety that the americans pay a small fortune for - resembles a small romaine with long, conical red heads with white midribs and crisp, tangy leaves

some info here: can be used in salads but better roasted:

Willing to swap for anything really - I have a big bag (a few thousand seeds) and don't want to see them go to waste!

regards
