Re: Herb perennials?


Does bronze fennel flower??  A friend gave me a piece recently and it has
just started to grow.  Also, have you heard of something called Egyptian
Onion.  It looks like the top of an onion, but re-seeds by dropping its
bulbs.  I also just put that in and don't know what to expect from it.
