I shall try try again though. |

The very productive plants produce lots of various sized florets throughout the season, giving you a long harvest period. We recommend harvesting the main head when it is 3” in diameter – this will encourage more side shoots. Sowing seeds every two weeks throughout the cool growing season will ensure a continual harvest. Excess harvest can be blanched and then frozen. Di Cicco Broccoli is also an excellent broccoli seed for sprouting. |

A very old cultivar, introduced to US gardeners in 1890. Produces a 4" head and many side shoots. A nice variety for freezing.
This is an early variety. |
