Notes

'Amadeus' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Amadeus') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Plants are ready to harvest in 59 days. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.

Pairs well with Amish Paste tomato, Scallion green onion, Berggarten sage, and Jacob Cline spotted beebalm.
