This purple broccoli is magical! How else do you explain a broccoli that has it all? From its beautiful purple color, tight uniform heads and bright beads to its great broccoli flavor, this easy to grow broccoli is also stress and heat tolerant. A showstopper.
“Wicked good! Nicest purple broccoli we’ve ever seen” exclaimed one very experienced edible judge.
Excellent broccoli to try growing in cooler seasons. Can be eaten raw, stir-fried, roasted, lightly blanched, or steamed for the best texture, either way, you will find it sweeter and more tender than traditional green broccoli.

Start transplants indoors 12 weeks before your first frost date. Keep seeds warm (70 degrees) until they sprout then move to a sunny location. Plant into well-worked soil 5 weeks before the last spring frost. Water well, plants should not dry out or wilt. Harvest primary head after about 90 days after transplant. Continue to care for the plants to encourage smaller side shoot heads.
