Notes
'Eastern Magic' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Eastern Magic') is a vegetable for the food garden, borders, and pollinator plantings. 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. It grows in an erect form at a moderate pace and does well in the Northeast. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Black Cherry tomato, and Jacob Cline spotted beebalm.
