Notes

'Groninger Brussels Sprout' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Groninger Brussels Sprout') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 sun. Bees and butterflies visit the plants, which makes it a lively addition to a food garden.

Pairs well with Hungarian Wax Hot Pepper, Kent Beauty oregano, and French lavender.
