300+Organic Calabrese Broccoli Seeds- Italian Broccoli- Brassica Oleracea-A072
Calabrese broccoli, often referred to simply as "broccoli", named after Calabria in Italy. It has large (10 to 20 cm) green heads and thick stalks. ... Sprouting broccoli has a larger number of heads with many thin stalks. ‘Calabrese’ is an heirloom variety, and a prime selection for zones 3 to 10. It’s an old Italian type that produces medium to large green heads. This variety matures in about 65 days and is renowned for its prolific sprouting side shoots following the first harvest.
Calabrese broccoli is also known as Italian green and is the most-common variety of broccoli in the United States. Its signature main head is surrounded by several side shoots that resemble a very compact, green flower. A cool-season vegetable, calabrese broccoli is a fine fall and winter planting project that yields delicious results. Clear a sunny spot for the broccoli to grow and if you planted broccoli the prior year, choose a different spot in your garden as it should not be grown in the same place less than every four years. Because broccoli begins to bolt – or flower – in hot weather, seeds should be planted about 85 to 100 days before your typical first frost for winter broccoli or two to three weeks before your last frost for spring broccoli. Till the area for planting with a garden shovel or tiller.
