Notes

'Dagan' brussels sprout (Brassica oleracea 'Dagan') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and specimen plantings. 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 count on it as a dependable midseason variety. Bees and butterflies visit its spring and summer blooms.

Pairs well with Scallion green onion, Berggarten sage, Genovese basil, and Plum Pudding coral bells.
