Product description
Broccoli Purple Sprouting is a hardy and versatile variety known for its delicious, tender spears that add vibrant colour to your vegetable garden. This variety is particularly prized for its ability to produce a reliable crop during the winter months, offering a steady supply of nutrient-rich vegetables when few others are available. The purple spears have a mild, sweet flavour, making them perfect for steaming, stir-frying, or adding to a variety of dishes.
Sow Broccoli Purple Sprouting seeds outdoors from April to July to ensure a successful winter harvest. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them to their final growing position, spacing each plant about 60cm apart to allow sufficient room for growth. This spacing is crucial to ensure the plants have enough space to develop strong roots and large, healthy spears.
To enjoy a continuous harvest from February to May, pick the spears regularly. This encourages the plant to produce more, extending the harvesting period. Broccoli Purple Sprouting thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and benefits from regular watering, especially during dry periods. It is an excellent choice for gardeners who want to enjoy fresh, homegrown vegetables throughout the colder months.
