50 days. Brassica rapa. Open Pollinated. A Foglia d'Ulivo Broccoli Raab. The plant produces good yields of dark green broccoli raab. Produces a large number of small tops that continuously re-sprout when cut. This plant produces abundant foliage similar to that of the olive tree and is grown for its tasty tender tops. The plants should be cut at the base before they have finished flowering. Their prized tender and bitter-tasting tops can be served as a side dish when boiled, stewed, or lightly fried. Excellent for stir fry and salads. Plant from early spring to late summer. An excellent choice for home gardens. A variety from Italy.

Broccoli Seed Planting Information:

Broccoli does best when temperatures remain between 40 F and 70 F during the growing period. Temperatures below 25 F can damage or kill broccoli. Spring planting should occur as soon as soil can be worked and after last frost, and fall planting done 10 to 12 weeks before first frost. In most areas broccoli grows best if planted in late summer so it can mature during cool periods. Plants can grow 2 ft tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil with plenty of nitrogen and calcium with some lime. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep well watered or plant will have premature heading and flowering.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle Gro.

Harvest Tips:

When you begin to see the buds spread out, it is time to harvest. Cut heads with sharp knife.
