Notes
'Bella Verde' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Bella Verde') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Gardeners grow it for high yields and excellent flavor. Its blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Red Sails lettuce, Kent Beauty oregano, and Six Hills Giant nepeta.
