Bag of 200 seeds
This very old variety produces a central head and then numerous shoots throughout the winter. They are picked as they lengthen, before flowering.
This variety adapts to a wide range of growing conditions.
Composed of 92% water, broccoli has very little energy but is packed with minerals. Broccoli ranks high on the list of "anti-cancer foods" thanks to the fiber and antioxidants it contains. Very rich in provitamin A, broccoli has antioxidant properties that combat the formation of free radicals responsible for cell ageing. Regular consumption of broccoli helps prevent cardiovascular and degenerative diseases by promoting blood fluidity (vitamin K).
in the ground, in bucket
Sow in pots under cover. Cover seeds with a thin layer of soil. Transplant when plants have 2 to 3 leaves, every 10 cm. Transplant when plants have 4 to 5 leaves, every 50 cm in rows spaced 50 cm apart, without burying the stem too deeply. For sowing in the open ground, sow lightly in rows spaced 50 cm apart. Thin to 50 cm along the row.
Spring sowing is possible as long as it is carried out just after the last frosts, to minimize the risk of early bolting.
