Broccoli De Ciccio Heirloom

£1.19

One of the best of the old-fashioned Italian broccolis, this Italian heirloom variety is suitable for fall and spring sowing. De Ciccio is a compact plant and very productive producing an early central blue-green head, followed by numerous side shoots into early summer. We recommend you harvest the main head when it is 3″ in diameter – this will encourage more side shoots. The leaves can also be used as spring greens.
