Notes
'Premium Crop' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Premium Crop') is a vegetable for food gardens 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. Its spring and summer blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Amish Paste tomato, Genovese basil, and Everbearing strawberry.
