Vegetable
Perfection
B tier
Perfection is a bulb fennel bred for tidy shape, pale colour, and consistent kitchen quality—less drama than wild herb fennel, more predictability for weekly vegetable boxes. Anise is gentle; bitterness low when cut young. Good all-purpose roast-and-salad bulb. Avoid heat stress that triggers bolting and hollow centres.
