Broccoli Broccoletti Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perBrassica oleracea var. italica
Broccoletti is a traditional sprouting type of broccoli grown for its abundance of tender side shoots and small green heads rather than one large central head. Once harvesting begins, plants continue producing multiple shoots, providing a generous and extended crop.
The young flowering shoots, stems and leaves are all edible and have a fresh broccoli flavour. Harvest while the heads are still tight and before the yellow flowers begin to open. Regular picking encourages further side-shoot production and extends the harvest.
Broccoletti prefers the cooler growing months and performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. An excellent choice for gardeners who prefer repeated smaller harvests rather than a single large broccoli head.
Approximately 120 seeds per packet
