Brassica oleracea

Di Cicco Broccoli


60-70 days to maturity. The best thing about De Cicco Broccoli besides the outstanding flavor is the growth habit. Beautiful plants produce nutritious greens and large solid heads of Broccoli that do not bolt quickly. In fact, they seem to hold forever, especially in the cool mountains. Broccoli likes it cool, both for germination and for growing.

After you harvest the main head, side shoots will continue to grow until well after frost. Keep harvesting, they are equally delicious.

You can start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost and you can direct sow. If you do both, you will have a succession planting as the seedlings will grow faster than the seeds, giving you a longer harvest period.

We like to interplant vase-shaped broccoli with fat-bottomd Chinese Cabbage. It makes a great relay planting.

My all-time favorite Broccoli.
