Heirloom Broccoli Seeds

     

🥦 Reliable & Nutrient-Dense

Heirloom broccoli varieties are cherished for their flavourful central heads and, often, their ability to continue producing abundant side shoots long after the main harvest. These traditional types are selected for their hardiness and consistent performance in the garden.

• Growing Essentials: Broccoli is a cool-season crop that thrives in fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It prefers full sun but appreciates some light shade during exceptionally hot spells.

• Sowing: For a spring harvest, start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. For a fall harvest, sow directly outdoors in mid-summer or start in seed trays to transplant when the heat begins to wane.

• Care: Consistent moisture is critical for success. Add a layer of mulch to keep roots cool and suppress weeds. Because they are heavy feeders, a light application of balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season will ensure vigorous plants.

• Harvesting: Cut the main head once the buds are firm and tight, before any yellow petals appear. If you keep the plant well-watered, it will continue to produce smaller, flavourful side shoots for weeks to come.
