Di Ciccio Broccoli

Certified Organic

Brassica oleracea

Old-fashioned Italian heirloom from the 1800s.

Before plant breeders began developing large, heavy headed hybrid broccoli plants for commercial growers, broccoli was a slightly slimmer, but still hardy, crop. All of our broccoli varieties are open-pollinated, best suited for home gardens and CSAs, and delicious. This variety has a growth habit in between Piracicaba and Calabrese. Central three-to-four inch blue-green florets develop at different times, giving a good staggered harvest. Leaves and stems are easily edible as well.

This variety is suitable for growing as a microgreen. 🌱
