Grow flavorful, high-performing brassicas with the Broccoli Seed Collection from Survival Garden Seeds. This trio of cool-season broccoli varieties—Waltham 29, Romanesco, and Green Sprouting Calabrese—offers dependable harvests, excellent cold tolerance, and abundant side shoots for extended production. Each variety grows well in garden beds, large containers, raised beds, or indoor hydroponic systems, giving home growers plenty of flexibility in how and where they plant.

Broccoli is an outstanding choice for fall and early winter harvests, and it also makes a nutrient-rich microgreen for sprouting. These varieties produce well-formed crowns, tender stalks, and flavorful florets that suit everything from fresh eating to roasting and freezing.

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors for spring planting or sow directly outdoors in late summer for fall and early winter harvests. Plant in full sun and provide rich, well-drained soil. Space plants about 12 inches apart to allow for full head development. Keep soil consistently moist and harvest heads promptly to prevent bolting. After removing the central head, continue harvesting side shoots regularly to prolong production. Broccoli grows best in cool temperatures and may struggle in high heat.
