I realised when reading everyone's posts about their
favourites that one of the joys for me last spring was
seeing the newly emerging foliage of so many plants, e.g..
the whorls of Aquilegias as they come up. One of my
favourites was my bronze fennel. Does anyone know if it
would be possible later in the season to cut back the fennel
and get a second lot of emerging foliage - I'm not overly
fond of it later in the season, much preferring it earlier
on. Also, if it is possible, would I be able to do it year
after year without weakening the plant? I've got several
plants of fennel, so I might experiment next year with the
plants near the front of the border and see what happens.
(I was reading a gardening magazine recently, and they
suggested doing a similar thing with plants such as
Achillea, to delay the flowering. I thought that was quite
a good idea.)
