Thanks for the tip @Nollie, easy enough to do in my veg garden and it is highly unlikely that any tomatoes will ever be out there until climate change has major effects on our weather! Will bear it in mind for the other two though, the kohl rabi is ready to go out but the beans don't seem to want to germinate this year, never had that problem before!
Patrinia scabiosa would be an interesting alternative. Native Daucus carota is lovely as well IMHO, 'Dara' has nice pink flowers that fade to purple. Then there are the Ammis… these things are a bit more airy and open than fennel which forms a bit of a dense mass (although lovely).
Keep us updated re your prairie style planting, it's a style I really like.
Great tip WillDB. love the look of this plant. Very fennel-like.
