$5.17

The Broccoli Premium Crop, 'Brassica oleracea', has large, firm dark green heads with small buds. This hybrid has the ability to hold its quality longer on the plant than most varieties. Good for freezing and widely used by processors and home gardeners. The single, textured, 8 to 9 inch heads have small, firm buds on thick tender stems. This reliable performer is resistant to heat and fusarium wilt. Planting in spring is excellent where there are long cool springs and in areas where summers are relatively cool. Late summer planting is recommended in warm summer areas or short spring areas. Broccoli prefers rich, moist, well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Soil PH should be very slightly acid to neutral. Harvest the heads when buds are tight, just before they open into yellow flowers. ... additional info
