Broccoli, Calabrese | Garden Seeds and Plants

Broccoli, Calabrese

Delicious early and late season heirloom favorite.
Introduced to the seed trade around 1910, this variety was brought to our shores—and our gardens—by Italian immigrants. A deliciously old-fashioned broccoli, it boasts dark bluish-green central heads about 5″ across. Tall, erect, 30-36″ plants give way to multiple side shoots once the central head is cut. Harvest 60-90 days after transplant.
