This lovely, old fashioned Broccoli variety is a very disease resistant, very hardy and very prolific producer of large dark green heads. The 7 to 15cm (3 to 6in) heads have a bluish green centre and are typically uniform in size and shape. Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli will produce a number of good-size side shoots once the initial head is harvested. Very easy to grow, plants grow erect and leafy: 75-90cm (30 to 36in) in height. This is an excellent autumn crop for cold climates that can be used either fresh or frozen. You can grow to just the Micro-leaf stage & harvest with scissors when they have formed their first leaves. They are very tender with an astonishing clarity of flavor…. a true 'superfood'. - Dirt Goddess Super Seeds are fortified with Mycorrhizae, Beneficial Bacteria & Trichoderma for Superior Growth & Vigor, Organically!
