Notes

'Sibsey' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Sibsey') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, 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. Its flowers attract butterflies and bees, and it tolerates salt.

Pairs well with Genovese basil, Bouquet dill, Lemon balm, and Wild leek.
