I don't know if the ones you picked will germinate - but in my 6b zone yard - bronze fennel is positively aggressive! It self-sows itself - everywhere. I have an established clump that is three years old now that is over my head. I wait until the seeds fall out of the flower heads with a tap of my hand into a collecting container. The seeds are very tasty - they taste like anise. I save some for cooking. Goldfinches love the seeds which is about the only reason I keep any in the yard as it doesn't produce a bulb for eating like the "usual" fennel. Sometimes the seeds are bigger than other times. Good luck!
