Notes
'Zenith' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Zenith') is a vegetable for the food garden, borders, and pollinator plantings. 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 draw butterflies and bees, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Bouquet dill, Sage, and Sweet William.
