Broccoli 'Green Sprouting Calabrese'

Broccoli 'Green Sprouting Calabrese' is earlier than purple sprouting, and it doesn't require overwintering to produce heads. The 4" main heads mature before the side shoots, extending the harvest. Excellent flavor. Easy to grow.

This is my favorite broccoli. With only 6 plants, we harvested enough to eat it almost every day from mid July to December.

Heirloom from Calabria, Italy in the 1800's.​

Sowing Broccoli Seeds
