White or purple companion for Fennel

| I have a few perennial Fennel that I think would be lovely used as an ornamental instead of just growing in the vegetable/herb garden. I would like to add it to my purple and white flower garden. Any suggestions for surrounding plants? |

| I'll make a suggestion since your question hasn't had any activity. I am unfamiliar with what fennel looks like, but I wonder if the cottage forum might have suggestions since some of them use herbs in with the perennials. Good luck |

| Bronze fennel looks great as a contrast in texture to almost any other bronze or purple foliaged plant, or combined with chartruse foliage of a different type, and I use it with white lillies. Green fennel would work as a great textural contrast with any larger green leaved foliage plant. |

| I think they fennels have such pretty foliage they soften/or look nice with anything..... but since bronze fennel has a vaguely purple tone maybe placing it nearest the white flowers would be nice....... ?????? :).... :) |

| I have bronze fennel in a bed behind some Bergarten Sage, Catherine Woodbery DL, a giant lavender iris and a Abe Darby rose. The texture of the fennel looks really pretty next to silver foliage. |

| I grow the Bronze Fennel for cut flower arrangements and paired it in container with Tanacetum vulgare "Isla Gold"...sort of gaudy but fun. josh |
