Broccoli Romanesco Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perBrassica oleracea var. botrytis
Romanesco, often called Romanesco Broccoli, is an extraordinary cauliflower type producing pale lime-green heads made up of intricate, repeating spirals. Its remarkable geometric form is a natural example of fractal-like growth, with each pointed floret echoing the shape of the larger head.
As impressive on the plate as it is in the garden, Romanesco has an excellent flavour and texture, often described as sweeter and nuttier than conventional cauliflower, with the tenderness of broccoli when properly cooked. The heads can be steamed, roasted, sautéed or broken into individual florets for a spectacular addition to salads and vegetable dishes.
Romanesco performs particularly well in cooler conditions and requires a reasonably long, steady growing season to develop its distinctive heads. Plants prefer full sun, fertile soil, consistent moisture and protection from prolonged heat. Maturity is approximately 85–110 days, depending on growing conditions.
Approximately 90 seeds per packet
