Seed Details
Purple sprouting broccoli is a vibrant and nutritious vegetable known for its striking purple florets and tender green stems. This variety of broccoli is not only visually appealing but also packed with vitamins and minerals, making it a popular choice among gardeners and chefs alike. It thrives in cooler climates and can be planted in late summer for a spring harvest, offering a fresh supply of greens when other vegetables are scarce.
Instructions
The best time to sow purple sprouting broccoli seeds is from early spring to very early summer. This timing ensures that the plants are well-established before the colder months set in, as they thrive in cooler weather. Purple sprouting broccoli prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Before sowing, enrich the soil with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients. Purple sprouting broccoli is typically ready to harvest in late winter to early spring. Pick the shoots when they are tender, cutting just above the leaves to encourage further growth. Sow the seeds thinly in seed trays or directly into the ground at a depth of about 1/2 inch. Space the seeds approximately 6 inches apart to allow for growth. If sowing in trays, transplant the seedlings when they are about 4 inches tall.
