60 Days to Maturity.
Tight headed broccoli, well suited for the Midwest. Remains crunchy without bitterness in the heat of summer. 24" tall plants with 5"+ domed broccoli heads.
Direct seed 3-4 seeds every 18" and thin to single plant at second true leaf. Or transplant, sowing 6 weeks before last frost date and transplant at 3rd true leaf for spring plantings. Harvest while heads are still tight before budding occurs. Wider spacing will reduce disease pressure, especially for late plantings.
Seed Source Information:
Due to intellectual property restrictions and hybrid production methodology this variety is not able to be produced by small scale, regional growers. However, we feel there is no better option for a uniform, classic heading broccoli for Midwest growers.
Lot # SW-UT-1010-2023: Purchased in bulk from Seedway in 2023. Not certified organic. Tested at 95% germination in 2023.
Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Romanesco Growing Resources
The Midwest, with its unique combination of diverse topographies, microclimates, soil types, and weather patterns, presents a distinct set of growing challenges. At Driftless Seed Supply, our deep understanding of these conditions, honed by years of experience as Midwest growers, informs every seed we produce.
Generations of seed production, coupled with rigorous trialing in partnership with regional farmers, have enabled us to offer seeds that are exceptionally well-suited to the Midwest's unique growing environment.
Our commitment goes beyond just supplying seeds. We strive to ensure that Midwest farmers and gardeners like you have access to seeds that are not only well-adapted to our region but also capable of producing outstanding yields. Each generation of seeds we cultivate here in the Midwest—rather than in distant, climatically different regions—enhances the adaptability and performance of our varieties, setting them apart from those offered by many other seed companies.
Additionally, our collaboration with small local farms for most of our seed production is a testament to our dedication to strengthening the Midwest's food system. This approach not only supports local agriculture but also avoids the need to rely on large-scale production facilities in distant locations, whether out West or abroad.
We ship anywhere in the lower 48 states of the US via USPS.
All sales are final and we do not accept returns or exchanges except in the case of delivering the wrong item or recalling specific seed lots due to contamination. For wholesale customers who purchase our pre-filled bundles, we will provide a credit for the following season’s order for any packets returned by October 1st.
