Broccoli 'Early Purple Sprouting'
(120 days)
200 seeds $3.00
Early Purple Sprouting broccoli produces a cluster of small crowns in a dark reddish purple color. It turns green when cooked. This biennial doesn't produce until the second year, so it has different growing requirements. See the helpful description on my daughter's website for growing tips.
Heirloom from the United Kingdom, 1793.
