Romanesco Italia Broccoli Cauliflower Seeds

Be the first to review this product

75 days. Brassica oleracea. Open Pollinated. Romanesco Italia Broccoli Cauliflower. The plant produces good yields of lime green cauliflower/broccoli. This is a unique Italian variety with a better taste and texture than other cauliflower/broccoli varieties. It features striking apple-green, fractal-shaped heads with a mild, nutty, sweeter flavor compared to regular cauliflower or broccoli. It is excellent raw or cooked; it boasts a milder, sweeter flavor than white cauliflower. It has beautiful apple green spiraling buds and is especially well adapted to the north. It is frost-tolerant but heat-sensitive, and heads may fail to form properly in hot weather. An excellent choice for home gardens. United States Department of Agriculture, PI 462221. An heirloom variety from Italy.

Broccoli 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 the last frost, and fall planting should be done 10 to 12 weeks before the 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 in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

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

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro Liquid Fertilizer periodically.

Harvest Tips:

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