Description

Enjoy a long cropping period with this delicious white sprouting Broccoli. Broccoli 'Sweet Returns' F1 (Calabrini) is the latest breeding in sweet-stemmed Broccoli. Plants produce tender, tasty sideshoots from the leaf axils, even without the main head being cut. The shoots can be harvested as you need them and they just keep growing! Companion planting: try growing broccoli with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles. Height: 90cm (35"). Spread: 60cm (24")Sow sprouting broccoli seeds in a well-prepared seed bed from March to June at a depth of 13mm (½") and spaced 30cm (12") apart. Transplant to their final positions around 5 weeks later when the seedlings have four or five leaves. When growing sprouting broccoli, choose a sheltered position in firm, rich fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well-rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Plant sprouting broccoli deeply for stability at a distance of 60cm (24") apart, and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.Product specifications:. Position: Full Sun. Height: Up to 90cm when fully established. Spread: Up to 60cm when fully established.
