Broccoli Seeds - Romanesco, ORGANIC

Brassica oleracea This geometric marvel has to be grown to be believed! A no-longer-secret Italian variety with lime green heads composed of well-defined spiraled points in an amazing fractal pattern. If you can stand to cut the heads up to eat them, you’ll find they walk the line somewhere between broccoli and cauliflower in flavor. Long maturity, but worth the wait. Romanesco broccoli can be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date and transplanted into the garden 2 to 3 weeks before last frost, or started in late summer for fall harvest. Plants will need full sun and well-drained soil amended with compost. Heads are typically ready to harvest about 80 days after transplanting. 1.75 gram packet contains about 465 seeds.
