Calabrese Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) Brought to North America from Italy in the late 1800’s and first made available for market by 1910. Dark green plants grow 18-30 inches tall with a variable bluish green central head between 3-8 inches across. A side shooting growth pattern, this plant can spread out rather quickly so leave at least 24 inches between rows. Very rich flavour from this timeless classic.
60 days to maturity
100 seeds per packet $4.45
Planting Instructions: Start indoors 4-5 weeks before last frost. Sow 1/4 inch deep. Line out transplants after risk of frost has passed at 18 inches apart.
