Broccoli - Super Blend
The Broccoli Super Blend, 'Brassica oleracea (Hybrid)', has the ability to spread out your broccoli season with the 3 varieties in one packet. No more broccoli in the compost pile! Broccoli has been increasing in popularity with home gardeners because of its taste and richness in vitamin A and C. The "time release" mix of these three exceptional hybrids will put fresh broccoli on your table for a longer period of time. This is much easier than buying separate varieties. The three varieties in the seed packet are Galleon, PS122493, and Constitution. Planting in spring is excellent where there are long cool springs, and in areas where summers are relatively cool. Late summer planting is recommended in warm summer areas or short spring areas. The Super Blend Broccoli prefers rich, moist, well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Soil PH should be very slightly acid to neutral. Harvest the heads when buds are tight, just before they open into yellow flowers. ... find out more
