In a span of 49 to 78 days, grow this broccoli variety dating back to around 1890. Revel in the bounty of a central head, ranging from 3 to 6 inches in diameter, accompanied by side sprouts that extend the harvest period. Embrace versatility by utilizing the young leaves akin to collard greens once the head reaches a quarter of its development. The plants, with their medium height and light green hue, offer a picturesque addition to your garden. Plant with flexibility in early spring, late summer, or early fall.
