An excellent tasty 'autumn broccoli', use steamed, boiled or in stir-fry dishes throughout the late summer and early autumn. Freezes well.

A favorite vegetable in Italy, it is very quick to grow. Generally the whole plant is harvested and leaves, stems and flower buds are all eaten. The small flower buds can be picked and cooked separately but you do need a lot of them! It can be sown and harvested successionally for many months. It has quite a strong, pungent 'brassica' flavour, perhaps as it is not actually a broccoli hence its many other names such as rapini, rappone, rabe and turnip broccoli.

A high quality long season variety that develops long spears with deep purple heads and succulent stems. One of the earliest to crop, it is at its most delicious from November onwards.

Unusual bright lime-green 'spiral' florets with a distinctive almost nutty flavour. Steam whole heads to retain their shape or eat raw to maximise its sweet distinct flavour and crunchy texture.

An improvement on traditional forms of purple sprouting. Produces a more vigorous plant with large primary heads along with good sized, secondary shoots for picking over an 8 week period through from March to April.

Created a great deal of interest when grown at the Scottish Horticultural Research Institute, yet it is very widely grown in Northern Italy. The spears can be snapped off individually or all together. It has a taste and texture exceeding the finest broccoli and to really appreciate the flavour it should be cooked and served individually with melted butter.

An extremely useful and easy to grow hardy winter vegetable, providing lots of tasty purple heads (which turn green when cooked) during late winter/early Spring

Excellent flavoured, well domed, small beaded heads of good colour. Keeps in good condition for a long time, producing plenty of side shoots once the centre head is cut. Plant in succession for summer-autumn harvesting.

Developed by Dr. Gray of Wellesbourne. A vast improvement on exisiting strains, cropping 1 week earlier and yielding up to 20% more. Vigorous plants producing tots of vitamin rich, tender flower buds. An extremely useful and easy to grow, hardy winter vegetable, providing lots of tasty purple heads (which turn green when cooked) during late February/March.

British breeding especially for summer cropping as needs no vernalisation (winter chill) to produce tasty purple spears. Robust plants will produce high yields if picked regularly to promote fresh flushes of spears. Broccoli Summer Purple has good heat tolerance. Crops from July to November if sown at regular intervals.

A choice mix of three British bred Broccoli varieties, Red Admiral F1 hybrid, Rudolph and Cardinal. Vigorous plants to provide top quality, large purple spears throughout the winter and spring at a time when fresh vegetables are often in short supply. Grows best in fertile, moist, well drained soil.

The latest maturing variety with some good frost tolerance to extend the cutting of quality heads and 'sideshoots' well into the autumn. Calabrese Spiridon produces domed heads, average 400-500g on erect, open plants which allow good air circulation to minimise disease. Prefers moist, rich, well-drained soil.
