Emerald Crown Broccoli

Original price was: $ 5.Current price is: $ 4.

Our best fall variety for the East.

Large well-domed heads with a fine bead. Best for crown cut. Resists purpling in cold weather, which makes Emerald Crown an excellent choice for fall crops. Widely adapted; performs well on both coasts and in the Midwest and Southeast.

FALL CROP:

Use midseason and storage varieties. Start seedlings as above in May and transplant to the garden in June–July. To ensure mature heads, seed the crop early in areas where heavy freezes occur early in fall.

WINTER CROP:

Successful broccoli crops can be grown where winters are mild (temperatures rarely below 32°F [0°C]). Transplants can be set out from September to February in these regions.

DIRECT SEEDING:

Sow 3 seeds per foot, ½” deep, rows 18–36″ apart, thinning to one plant in each group.
