Cavolo Broccolo Ramoso Calabrese Seeds Early, Tender & Productive Italian Variety

Description

Broccolo Ramoso Calabrese is a traditional Italian broccoli that gives you more than one harvest. Cut the compact central head first, then the plant sends out a generous flush of side shoots that you keep picking for weeks. More broccoli from one plant than most modern varieties.

Tender, flavourful and fast growing. Transplant outside in May and harvest from summer into autumn. Excellent steamed, roasted, or tossed through pasta with garlic and olive oil.

Growing information
🌱 Sowing
Sow in trays or directly outdoors on a fine, well‑prepared seedbed.
Transplant when seedlings are sturdy, keeping the soil consistently moist for strong establishment.
☀️ Light
Thrives in full sun but tolerates light partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
💧 Watering
Water regularly to maintain steady growth and prevent stress.
Aim for even moisture rather than heavy, infrequent watering.
🌡️ Germination
Germinates in roughly 7–14 days in moist soil at mild spring or early‑summer temperatures.
📏 Spacing & size
Transplant or thin to about 40–50 cm between plants for good airflow and head development.
Keep 50–60 cm between rows to allow for easy access and side‑shoot production.
