Notes
'Curlesi' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Curlesi') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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 matures in 52 days. Bees and butterflies visit it, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Scallion green onion, Genovese basil, and Kent Beauty oregano.
