Broccoli, Purple Sprouting (220 days)

Brassica oleracea 

Purple Sprouting broccoli has become a bit of a sensation here at Pacific Northwest Farmers markets with a dedicated cult following. Why? You ask…primarily because it is a fall planted crop that produces a profusion of dense purple broccoli florets that are 2-4” in diameter in March and April when there is not much other fresh produce save for roots and greens. We seed it in later July in Oregon and transplant outside in mid-August.  Tall plants grow to 24-36”. Hardy to 10°F.  SSF
