Brassica oleracea var. italica (hybrid)
Sprouting broccolis, like ‘Burgundy’, create one moderate to small main head, but the real show starts as it begins to produce generous side shoots. Purple broccolis are known for being quite tender, flavorful, and full of antioxidants. This ‘Burgundy’ variety is tolerant of a wider range of temperatures, which means a longer harvest period. Some gardeners pinch the first main floret off as soon as it is visible to encourage more abundant side shoots. Resistant to Fusarium yellows. Botanical Interests’® Burgundy Broccoli Seeds have been verified by The Non-GMO Project.
