Gorgeous appearance, superior nutrition, and excellent flavour

Just as you can grow either regular or red cabbage, Brussels sprouts have a colourful variant. The flavour of your ruby Brussels sprouts also differs somewhat from that of the normal, green variety. The flavour isn't quite as strong an advantage for those who find Brussels sprouts a little overwhelming, and there's more nuttiness. Enjoy this vegetable as an attractive contribution to your winter garden edibles. Although it looks unusual, this is a true heritage plant variety.

How to Sow
Burussels sprouts are a winter crop and are best started in midsummer to 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.
How to Harvest
The sprouts lower on the stem will be ready first. When they are the size you want, twist and pull so that you pick them off cleanly. Now, the younger sprouts still get a chance to develop.
