Fennel Vegetable Seeds Packet
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a hardy, aromatic herb known for its feathery leaves, yellow flowers, and flavorful seeds. It is both a culinary herb and a medicinal plant, widely used for its distinct anise-like flavor and digestive benefits. Fennel is a versatile, flavorful herb that thrives in home gardens with proper care. Whether grown for its bulbs, leaves, or seeds, fennel adds culinary and medicinal value to any landscape. With adequate sun, water, and well-draining soil, gardeners can enjoy a continuous supply of fresh fennel throughout the growing season.

Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.
Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
