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.
Plant your Calabrese Broccoli Plants in a sunny position with fertile, firm and moisture-retentive soil. Keep well watered during dry spells, particularly while the heads are developing.
Easy to grow, productive and wonderfully versatile in the kitchen, homegrown Calabrese is perfect for steaming, roasting, stir-fries and plenty of everyday family meals.

Watering Keep the soil consistently moist while the crop is establishing and growing, especially during flowering, fruiting or rapid leafy growth. Water deeply at the base rather than little and often, allowing excess water to drain away. Plants in containers, grow bags or greenhouses may need daily checks during warm weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile loam, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
