Calabrese Sprouting Broccoli

This incredible heirloom broccoli is fast growing and long lasting in the garden. It produces 5 inch blue/green heads and then many side shoots after the initial head is cut. The plants grow to 30-36 inches tall. Broccoli is a rewarding vegetable to grow and is best planted in full sun in soil amended with compost and a good organic fertilizer. Too much shade will cause plants to be susceptible to aphids. If aphids appear, we recommend using non-toxic Safer's Soap at a rate of 1-2 tablespoons per gallon of water in a large sprayer, or 1-2 teaspoons per quart of water in a regular spray bottle.

Planting your 6 pack: Space each seedling about 18-24 inches apart. Water in after planting.

Harvest the central head when the broccoli buds of the head are firm and tight, about 4-6 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 it’s color, texture and taste. It is high in vitamins A and C and is also considered to be a cancer fighting food.
