Notes
'Jade Cross' brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea 'Jade Cross') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and specimen planting. 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 or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its upright stalks bloom in spring and summer, and the flowers draw butterflies and bees. It also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Black Cherry tomato, Bouquet dill, Kent Beauty oregano, and Honesty.
