Notes
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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. This mini type has an erect habit, and its blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Jimmy Nardello pepper, Genovese basil, Bull's Blood beet, and Kent Beauty oregano.
