If you aren’t able to find the exact cultivars listed above, substitute with others that have similar colors, shapes, and sizes. And because some plants can become overly aggressive and spread out of control in certain climates, always check which species are considered invasive in your area before planting. For example, fennel is problematic in many coastal areas of the country, but cutting off flower clusters before seeds ripen helps keep it contained.
