Broccoli (Umpqua) Seeds
Brassica oleracea
Umpqua Broccoli is a heavy bearing variety with a high quality main head then ample side shoots for multiple weeks. Leaves can be eaten when young in salads or lightly blanched.
Broccoli is a fast growing annual that requires a full sun position with very fertile soil rich in organic matter. Growing a large broccoli plant will result in the biggest possible head harvest. Sow seeds into pots/punnets using a good quality seed raising mixture. Transplant seedlings to the garden when they are 5cm high and mulch thickly around the plant.
- Sow all year round (except extreme heat)
- Sow direct into pots then transplant to garden at 5cm tall
- 70 days to maturity
