De Cicco Broccoli, 2 g

Enjoy harvesting this heirloom broccoli variety, believed to date back to the late 1800s, with maturity occurring in approximately 49 to 78 days. Each plant produces a flavorful central head measuring about 3 to 6 inches across, followed by numerous side shoots that continue producing over an extended harvest season. The tender young leaves can also be harvested early and prepared similarly to collard greens once the main head reaches about one-quarter of its full size.

These attractive plants feature a medium-tall growth habit with soft light green coloring, making them both productive and visually appealing in the garden. This versatile broccoli can be planted during early spring for a summer harvest, or sown again in late summer to early fall for cooler-season production.
