Brassica oleracea
BROCCOLI-ROMANESCO produces a stunning apple-green whorled head with better taste & texture than most of the finest broccolis. Widely grown & prized in Italy. When the plant is approaching maturity it forms a single head about 20 to 30cm across that has a wonderful mosaic pattern. When the central head is cut smaller heads will form on the side.
Sow seeds indoors ¼” deep. If planting for a spring crop, plant out just before the last frost. Broccoli prefers cool temperatures and a regular supply of water. It can be grown as both a spring & autumn crop.
