A unique calabrese-broccoli which has been developed over a nine year period. Plants produce one large, high quality, rich-green head which is followed three weeks later by a number of secondary florets, similar to sprouting broccoli but tasting like asparagus. A delicious way to enjoy Broccoli.

Sowing Instructions. Sow into a well raked soil, where the plants are to be cropped. Make successional sowings from late spring to mid summer in drills 1cm (½in) deep, spaced 45cm (18in) apart.

They can also be sown indoors in trays of seed compost. Germination takes 4 -10 days at 18-20C (65-70F).

Growing Instructions. Thin out the seedlings gradually to 20cm (8in) apart.

For indoor sowing, transplant into boxes when large enough to handle. Plant out when they have developed 2-3 true leaves and water well.

Aftercare Instructions. For best results grow in a rich, fertile soil and water regularly.
