Bronze fennel ( non bulbing) and Florence Fennel ( bulbing) are quite different.

The main thing to remember is that if you want bulbs vs it bolting to bloom it needs to be kept watered and not allowed to dry out. Some varieties are more resistant to bolting. Shade may help in a hot garden.
I like to use the feathery leaves like fresh dill also.
