Broccoli Nine Star Perennial

Description

Broccoli Nine Star Perennial Seeds

A rare heritage variety reintroduced from Kings Own crop. Very hardy, producing a largish, central, cauliflower-like white head each spring, surrounded by up  to 15 smaller white multi-heads. Tastes slightly stronger in flavour than cauliflower, more like a cross between cauliflower and broccoli. Grows approximately 1 meter high and will last for up to 3 years before plants lose vigour.
Unlike most other types of broccoli, this variety, as the name suggests is a perennial.

When to Sow Nine Star Perennial Broccoli Seeds

April to May

Plant Out

June

Harvest

Feb to May following year

What to do Next

Outdoor sowings should be thinned out to 7-10cm (3-4in) apart , then once plants are large enough , lifted and transplanted to their final planting positions 60cm (24in) apart and 90cm (36in) between the rows to grow on to maturity. As soon as glasshouse seedlings show their first pair of leaves, prick off into trays 5cm (2") apart or thin modules to one seedling per cell. Gradually harden off before planting out when about 15cm (6") tall to the same spacings as detailed above.

Handy Tip

Once the main head has been harvested, the plant will produce small heads over the following weeks.
