Notes
'Purple Magic' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Purple Magic') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and specimen plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It makes purple heads and stems, and the purple, violet, and green flowers attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Scallion green onion, Potato, Everbearing strawberry, and Angelica.
