Calabrese Broccoli – The Traditional Italian Heirloom with Incredible Flavor and Extended Harvests
Brought to America by Italian immigrants in the late 1800s, the Calabrese Broccoli remains a favorite for home gardeners worldwide. Unlike many modern supermarket varieties, Calabrese is famous for its "cut-and-come-again" nature. At The Seed Guy, we highly recommend this variety because once you harvest the large, central, blue-green head, the plant doesn't stop—it continues to produce a bounty of smaller side shoots until the first hard frost.
The flavor is remarkably tender and sweet, far surpassing anything found in a grocery store. Any vegetable that can go from seed to table while providing both a stunning visual and incredible flavor is a gardener's dream, and Calabrese is a nutritional powerhouse that belongs in every cool-weather garden. Whether you are steaming it fresh, adding it to a stir-fry, or blanching it for the freezer, this heirloom provides a long and rewarding harvest season.

Calabrese Broccoli Planting Instructions:
1. Timing: Broccoli is a cool-season crop. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost for spring planting, or sow directly in the garden in late summer for a fall harvest.
2. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. If starting indoors, transplant seedlings to the garden once they are about 4-6 inches tall and the soil is workable.
3. Care: Broccoli is a "heavy feeder." Ensure your soil is rich in organic matter and provide consistent moisture. Mulching helps keep the roots cool as the weather warms up.
4. Harvesting: Harvest the main central head while the buds are still tight and before they begin to flower (yellow blossoms). Cut the stem at a slant. Leave the plant in the ground to encourage the growth of side shoots.
5. Pests & Disease: Watch for Cabbage Looper caterpillars and aphids. Using row covers early in the season can help protect your crop from many common pests.
