An F1 Hybrid, seed does not come true. This variety is somewhat tall, giving a good number of medium to large sprouts that are high in flavor. Tolerates hot summers better than most varieties.

Brussels sprouts are best harvested after a frost, so start seed indoor or out about 4 months before average frost date.
