Should Fennel Be Cut Back

Fennel is a hardy perennial herb, which will die back to ground level in winter. When this happens, tidy up the plants by cutting back flower stems and removing dead and dying foliage.

Does fennel come back every year?

Fennel is grown as an ornamental or a vegetable. Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare, is a short-lived perennial with some types hardy in zones 4-9 but is often grown as an annual in cooler climates.

Can you grow fennel from cuttings?

Yes, you can grow fennel from cuttings although the correct term would be their “fronds.” Keep in mind that propagating fennel in this way can be a serious waste of time since the success rate is extremely low.
