Notes
'Kariba' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Kariba') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and pollinator gardens. 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 cold tolerant, so you can grow it for fall and winter harvests. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Dill, and Sage.
