Strong, vigorous plants produce a high yield of large, creamy-white spears over several weeks. The first British-bred, F1 hybrid, white sprouting broccoli. Tasty and versatile, providing an excellent supply of greens at a time when fresh vegetables can be in short supply in the garden.
Sowing Info
Best sown in individual pots or a seed tray of good seed compost and cover with 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite, at a minimum of 15°C (60°F), until after germination which takes 5-7 days. Alternatively, sow thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (½in) deep, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.
Growing Info
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into larger pots, or transplant from the seedbed around 5 weeks from sowing. Allow 75cm (30in) between plants each way. Plant firmly to obtain best quality heads. Water plants thoroughly after planting. Cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects.
