Notes
'Luna Rossa' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Luna Rossa') 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 or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It takes 120 days to reach maturity. Bees and butterflies visit its spring and summer flowers.
Pairs well with Ancho pepper, Dark Opal basil, and Becky Shasta daisy.
