Baby Broccoli BROCKY F1- 15 Seeds
(Hybrid)
Important - Please read before buying: We are selling ONLY 15 Baby Broccoli Brocky F1 seeds per packet for the listed price. These are specialty commercial PREMIUM hybrid seeds, which are rare and a lot more expensive than open-pollinated seeds. Being a hybrid strain, it is not suitable for seed saving.
Also known as, broccoletti, broccolette.
Days to Maturity: 60 from transplanting. It can be harvested up to 8 times per planting.
It has slender, succulent stems, but this is 100% broccoli, with a peppery-sweet bite you will savour. This gourmet variety is delicious from top to bottom, with really exceptional flavour and texture.
Unlike regular broccoli, baby Broccoli Brocky has tender stems to the ground, with small, delicious leaves. Occasionally a rogue yellow flower will set, especially if you are growing this baby Broccoli in late spring in a warm climate. Go ahead and eat the flower, too - you'll be surprised at how good it is! And the stems are slender and smooth, so you need never peel or chop them.
The key to harvesting is to cut that central crown as soon as it's formed. This will lead to great side-shoot production. After that, you're fixed up for great eating for many weeks to come since it's a vigorous grower! The shoots can be easily snapped off the plant.
