Rating3.5 Read the review(s)

A breeding breakthrough, specially bred for summer cropping - from late June to October, depending on sowing date and season.

Broccoli Summer Purple produces high quality, well-coloured spears with good heat tolerance. A very high yielding and versatile variety.

Easy to grow, quick to prepare and very good for you!

Growing Broccoli is Simple - Sow the seed thinly in drills and cover them over with soil, lightly firming with the head of the rake. Mark the row, labelling one end with the variety and sowing date. Keep the seed bed moist. Seedlings are ready to plant out when they are about 4in/10cm to 6in/15cm tall. Water the planting hole before firmly transplanting to their permanent position, 1in/2-5cm deeper than in the seedbed and 18in/45cm apart.

Though these were easy to grow I was disappointed with the harvest. If it wasnt for fact i had grown 12 of these I wouldnt have got much from them. Though the picking period was about 8 weeks. I did find any broccoli sprouts that werent picked quick soon went to flower which my netting sure didnt like.

This variety is a revelation! Tasty spears of purple broccoli as early as July and lasting well into autumn - the more you pick, the more you get, and seems to be unpopular with cabbage whites, which is an added bonus.
