Notes
'Silvia' brussels sprout (Brassica oleracea 'Silvia') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and specimen plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It resists black rot, which helps keep the crop healthy. The plant has an erect habit and grows at a moderate pace.
Pairs well with Basil, Creeping thyme, and Everbearing strawberry.
