'Gypsy' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Gypsy') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. It is ready to harvest in 60 days. Bees and butterflies visit the spring and summer blooms.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Everbearing strawberry, and Wild leek.
