This hardy winter vegetable produces good yields of tasty purple heads (turning green when cooked) which can be harvested during late winter and early spring, at a time when fresh vegetables from the garden are often in short supply. Purple broccoli plants are extremely cold hardy withstanding temps below 10 F. This unique attribute is critical to success in growing the plant, as Purple Sprouting broccoli grows slower and will require at least 8 to 16 weeks to mature. Unlike other broccoli plants, which produce a single large head, Purple Sprouting broccoli plants produce smaller heads with multitudes of tender side shoots. These shoots often taste especially sweet and delectable due to their exposure to cooler temperatures. 300+ seeds per order. Brassica oleracea. Annual. Cool season vegetable. Early spring / Fall. Soil temp 60F+. SOW- 3/4 seeds per, 1/4″ deep, 18″ apart. Keep moist. Germination 7 – 14 days. Thin to single best seedling. Use scissors to cut out unwanted sprouts. Medium water. Organic fertilizer if needed. Height 30″ x 18″ wide. Purple Sprouting Broccoli matures more slowly than standard broccoli. Usually 8 to 16 weeks.
