'Hestia F1' brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea 'Hestia F1') is a vegetable for a food garden. 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 erect stalks grow at a moderate pace, and the spring and summer blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Bull's Blood beet, Dark Opal basil, and Angelica.
