100 Seeds Broccolini Brassica oleracea Heirloom Vegetable Garden

Broccolini is a tender-stemmed brassica that produces small, sweet florets atop slender, crisp stalks. A cross between broccoli and gai lan, it offers a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a fast, cut-and-come-again harvest habit that makes it a rewarding choice for home vegetable gardens.

Use broccolini fresh in stir-fries, steaming, roasting, or raw in salads, where both the stalks and florets are edible and tender. Plants grow upright and compact, maturing quickly and continuing to push new side shoots after the central head is cut, extending the harvest window across the season.
