(a.k.a. Early Italian Green Sprouting) (Brassica oleracea) 58-90 days from transplant.       This broccoli variety was brought to America from Italy in the late 1800s. Green Sprouting Calabrese Broccoli is a true mainstay with gardeners. Heads grow to 5-8″, with a central head, bearing many side shoots. Does well in cool climates, extremely frost tolerant. Will continue to grow side shoots throughout season, even after main head is cut. Very flavorful, and rich in vitamins.
