The real strength of this hybrid blend lies in its reliable performance across a range of growing conditions. Your body absorbs the calcium in broccoli more effectively than the calcium in milk, making even a modest harvest nutritionally significant. The wide harvest window of 56 to 100 days means you can time plantings to your schedule and enjoy broccoli throughout the season without rushing.
Hybrid Broccoli Blend is grown as a fresh culinary vegetable. The main heads are harvested and eaten raw in salads and vegetable platters, steamed as a side dish, roasted until the florets caramelize, or incorporated into stir-fries and pasta dishes. The side shoots that emerge after the main head is harvested provide additional tender florets for continued harvest throughout the season.

Start seeds indoors 25 to 35 days before your transplant date. This advance gives you a head start on the 56 to 100 day timeline to harvest.
Transplant seedlings outdoors after hardening off. Space plants 4 inches apart in rows 18 inches apart.
Direct seed in April. Add 25 to 35 days to the stated days-to-maturity timeline when direct seeding, as these timings are calculated from transplant date.
Harvest the main head when it is tight and dense, before the flower buds begin to open or yellow petals appear. Use a clean, sharp knife and cut at a slant at least 6 inches down the stem to prevent water from pooling on the cut surface and causing rot. Once the main head is removed, the plant will produce side-shoots; harvest these regularly by the same method to keep production going.
After harvesting the main head, cut side-shoots regularly to encourage continued production. This harvesting practice extends your yield and keeps the plant productive.
