Super productive variety
Easy to grow
An incredible green-budded variety of sprouting broccoli, which crops more heavily than purple sprouting broccoli
Delicious cooked and then stir fried with garlic, anchovies, chilli and lemon, and served on top of a bed of new potatoes, sprinkled with pine nuts and good grated cheese.
Grows quickly in a well-drained bed with plenty of sunlight. Great for pots too.
We may occasionally send a substitute variety, carefully chosen by our growers for suitability and of equal or greater value. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
