This broccoli variety is versatile for summer or fall harvest and provides uniform heads. Large, healthy plants tolerate heat and are resistant to downy mildew. Broccoli is best planted in soil amended with compost and a good fertilizer where it will be better able to fight disease.

Harvest when the broccoli buds of the head are firm and tight, cutting 5 to 10 inches down on the stalk. This will promote the growth of many side shoots over a long period. For best flavor, cook broccoli until tender/crisp or use raw in salads or with dips. Broccoli freezes well, maintaining its color, texture and taste. It is high in vitamins A and C and is also considered to be a cancer fighting food.
