Calabrese Broccoli

Product Details
Harvest classic Italian broccoli this fall with this 4-pack of Calabrese Broccoli starter plants! Calabrese Broccoli is a classic Italian variety known for its large, deep green central heads and abundant side shoots that extend the harvest well beyond the first cut. The tight, finely textured florets form attractive domed clusters above sturdy stems and lush blue-green foliage. Its flavor is mild, sweet, and enhanced by cool weather, making it excellent for fresh eating, steaming, or roasting. A reliable and productive garden staple, Calabrese broccoli offers both beauty and continuous harvests throughout the season.
Calabrese Broccoli produce medium to large central heads followed by side shoots. Their florets are tender, tight, and sweet with a mild earthy flavor that improves in cooler weather.
While not propagated via tissue culture, this plant still meets MicroStarts' high quality standards.
