500 Seeds Green Sprouting Calabrese Broccoli Brassica oleracea Vegetable Garden

Green Sprouting Calabrese is a dependable open-pollinated broccoli prized for its large central head and extended side-shoot harvest. A classic garden favorite, it delivers tender, flavorful florets and stems that shine in the kitchen.

Enjoy fresh heads steamed, roasted, or stir-fried, and keep harvesting the smaller side shoots for weeks after the main head is cut. This cool-season crop grows best in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture, rewarding both beginner and experienced gardeners with a steady supply.
