KaiBroc - Seeds

Rating4 Read the review(s)

This delicious new vegetable is a cross between Broccoli and Kailaan (Chinese Broccoli).

KaiBroc produces sweet, tender stems with an edible floret. 50-60 days to maturity and once the main head is cut it quickly produces many side-shoots to crop over a long period.

Feed regularly to produce more shoots. Can be sown in spring or late summer.

Quantity Sufficient seed for 50ft / 15m row
Catalogue Code 1020-2104

I've never tried to grow broccoli before as I thought they were difficult. This couldn't be easier. Once you pick the first head it resprouts lots of little ones which have kept us in stir frys for weeks. You do need a lot of plants to be able to pick a good crop and I would grow more next year. Delicious though and well worth a go.

Sweet tender stems with edible floret!

Sow Indoors: March-May, 2-3 seeds per clean module tray of firm pre watered compost, cover with ½in (1cm) of vermiculite or sieved compost. Place in warmth 15-20°C (60-70°F) and keep moist at all times.

Sow Outdoors: May-August thinly ½in (1cm) deep in rows 12in (30cm) apart. Keep soil moist at all times.

Plant Out: Indoor raised crops April-May 12in (30cm) apart with 12in (30cm) between each row.

Harvest: June-October. Cut out terminal head when it's ½in (1cm) approx 60 days, secondary shoots with floret will start a few weeks later. Harvest when 7in (20cm) long for 2-4 weeks.

Keep feeding plants to prolong shooting.
