Notes
'BC1611' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'BC1611') 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. It is a mini broccoli that reaches maturity in 33 days. Bees and butterflies visit the spring and summer blooms.
Pairs well with Amish Paste tomato, Celeriac, Lemon balm, and Everbearing strawberry.
