Notes

Romanesco broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Romanesco Italia Cauliflower') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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 sun. Bees and butterflies visit the plant, so it adds life to a vegetable bed.

Pairs well with Sweet corn, Tarragon, and Creeping thyme.
