Broccoli (Calabrese) Green Calabrese Seeds

Calabrese broccoli is a popular vegetable that is as nutritious as it is delicious. Named after the region of Italy where it was first grown, you can grow it in your garden with our Broccoli Calabrese sprouting seeds.

Known for its large, compact, dark green heads and thick stalks, this classic broccoli is a favourite in the UK. It's particularly popular for its tender texture and mild flavour - delicious steamed, stir-fried, or even raw.

Broccoli Calabrese sprouting seeds grow a central head which can reach up to 20 cm (8 in) in diameter, surrounded by smaller side shoots that continue growing even after the main head is harvested. The plants themselves grow to about 60-90 cm (24-36 in) tall, and have broad, dark green leaves.

These spring-sowing vegetable seeds thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained, fertile soil. Green Calabrese broccoli is quite hardy, which makes it perfect for the British climate. You can even grow it in a container.
