Notes

'Divino' brussels sprout (Brassica oleracea 'Divino') is a vegetable for food gardens and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its tall stalks resist lodging, so they stay upright. Bees and butterflies visit the spring and summer blooms.

Pairs well with Basil, Creeping thyme, and Winter squash.
