What is Ferla?

Ferla is a wild plant typical of the Mediterranean scrub, very widespread in Sicily. The scientific name is Ferula communis L. , it is a wild relative of fennel (it is also popularly called fennel) but does not produce edible seeds.

In some areas of Sicily, the trunks are used to make craft objects (stools or small tables), and in ancient times, bugni were also made, i.e. hives for the traditional breeding of Sicilian bees, while the flowers are particularly appreciated from insects.
