Instead of making the big, dense heads of most broccoli varieties, this heirloom variety produces multiple spikes of purple florets. It’s a tough variety that tolerates quite hard frosts, so it makes an ideal addition to your winter veggie garden, blooming in the late winter to early spring. Add a bit of colour to your cuisine!

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Broccoli is a winter crop and is best started in mid to late autumn. Sow seed in trays about 6 weeks before planting out. Transplant baby plants when they are about 12cm tall into rows about 60cm apart. For best results plant in full sun in a rich soil. When the heads get large, plants can be staked to stop them from falling over. A good mulch will also maintain soil temperature and encourage growth.

    How to Harvest

    Harvest the main head whilst it is still tightly shaped. It is best to cut the stem about 12cm below the head. The plant will continue to produce smaller florettes along the stem and these can be coninuously harvested throughout the season.
