Product Description

Mr Fothergills Summer Purple Sprouting Broccoli (Brassica oleracea Italica) is a rewarding and easy-to-grow variety that thrives in warmer conditions. Unlike traditional overwintering sprouting types, this variety matures within the same season, providing nutritious harvests from early summer through to autumn.

Plants produce plentiful tender stems topped with striking purple florets, offering both attractive colour and excellent flavour. Ideal for steaming, stir-fries and side dishes, the stems are sweet, succulent and packed with nutrients.

Sow indoors from January to March and transplant outdoors from April to May once conditions allow. With a spread of around 60cm, plants perform best in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position.
