Notes
'Green Comet' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Green Comet') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and pollinator gardens. 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 flowers bloom in spring and summer and draw butterflies and bees. It also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Amish Paste tomato, Everbearing strawberry, and Jacob Cline spotted beebalm.
