Broccoli Plant - Calabrese Long Season Cropping Blend

Brassica oleracea (Italica Group)


Every supermarket sells Calabrese and calls it Broccoli - it isn't! We can't see anything wrong with the name Calabrese which is an excellent vegetable and especially good with its fine grained sprouting heads.

We doubt if you will beat our selection, which is repeat sprouting from June until November. A blend of varieties to ensure continued cropping.

This vegetable is especially good for freezing and nutritionally rich in vitamins.

Supplied as compost block grown plants.

Top Tips
Plant firmly, and in windy areas consider staking.
