Brassica oleracea italica

Though this extremely cold hardy Purple Sprouting broccoli was bred in England, the plant from which modern broccoli is derived first grew in the wild in the Mediterranean region and in Asia Minor. A beautiful, highly productive and much sought after broccoli variety. These are quick growing and high yielding - can grow to about 75cm tall. The florets are relatively small but allow for a greatly extended picking season .

Adds great colour and nutrition to the table when raw, but loses most of its attractive purple colour when cooked.


Standard packet contains approx. 200 seeds

Petite packet contains approx. 70 seeds
