Grow fresh, tasty broccoli at home with our Calabrese Broccoli Plants (Brassica oleracea var. italica). A rewarding addition to vegetable gardens, allotments and raised beds, Calabrese produces firm green heads followed by smaller side shoots that can extend your harvest.

Choose from Green Magic F1, Marathon F1, Monclano F1 or Mixed, giving you a selection of reliable varieties for your home vegetable patch.
