An early-producing variety, it is a reliable choice for the cool-season vegetable garden and provides an extended harvest over approximately 8–10 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrussels Sprouts were developed as a distinctive cultivated form of \u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea\u003c\/em\u003e around Brussels in present-day Belgium, becoming established as a vegetable crop by the 16th century. The miniature cabbage-like sprouts form progressively along the stem and are harvested from the bottom upwards as they reach a firm, usable size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly nutritious, Brussels Sprouts are a good source of vitamin C, folate and fibre, along with vitamin K and a range of minerals. Their flavour becomes sweeter and milder following exposure to cold conditions and light frost, making them particularly rewarding in cooler climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants prefer fertile, near-neutral soil, full sun and consistent moisture. Removing ageing lower leaves as the sprouts develop improves airflow and makes harvesting easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed count: approximately 300 seeds\/g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 120 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Generally unsuitable except in cool highland areas\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Late summer to autumn in cooler locations\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Summer to autumn\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Late spring to summer for autumn and winter harvest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep.
