Green Sprouting Calabrese
Broccoli Seeds
(OP) 60 to 90 days
Organically grown. This extremely cold hardy 1910 Italian heirloom green sprouting broccoli produces deep blue-green 5 in. central heads on 3 ft. tall upright plants. After harvesting the main head, many smaller and just as tasty side florets grow, keeping you supplied with fresh broccoli for months and months. Ideally suited for both spring and fall crops.
Growing Green Sprouting Calabrese Broccoli Seeds
Plant Broccoli Seeds: Sow broccoli seed in cell packs or flats ½ in. deep, 4 to 6 weeks prior to setting out. Space 10 to 18 in. apart. Can direct sow ½ in. deep, in rows 18 to 36 in. apart. Thin to 8 to 18 in. apart. Kept at 65-75°F., germination is in 7-14 days.
Grow Broccoli: Broccoli is a cool season vegetable that (in our relatively mild climate) we plant in fall, winter and spring. In cold-winter areas broccoli is planted in April and May and even through mid July if the summers are mild. Harvest before the flower buds open. Once the center head is cut, side shoots develop and will produce continuously when harvested regularly.
