Calabrese 'Green Sprouting'

Calabrese 'Green Sprouting' is a popular and productive broccoli variety in UK gardens, known for its generous yields of tender, dark green heads. Rather than producing one large head, this variety develops numerous smaller spears after the initial central head is harvested, providing a continuous supply over several weeks. It's a highly nutritious vegetable, rich in vitamins and minerals, perfect for steaming, stir-frying, or roasting. 'Green Sprouting' thrives in firm, fertile, well-drained soil and a sunny, sheltered position. Regular watering and feeding will ensure a healthy, vigorous crop. Its reliability makes it a staple for many UK vegetable growers.
