QUALITY GUARANTEED

  • The Calabrese Broccoli Marathon F1 is a reliable type that grows slowly and has enormous, round heads that have a dark green colour. It makes florets that are crunchy, tasty, and have a great texture. You may add them to a lot of other recipes or steam or roast them. People really appreciate this type since it stays in the garden for a long period without losing its quality.

  • Marathon F1 is strong and dependable, so it's great for vegetable gardens and allotments. It also gives you a lot of food later in the year. When you cut off the main head, the plant normally grows little side shoots. This makes the time it takes to crop longer and the total amount of crops higher.

    • Light Required Full sun

    Watering Water regularly, keeping soil evenly moist, especially during head development.

    Best Growing Conditions Plant in a sunny, open position in fertile, well-drained soil that retains moisture. Water regularly during dry periods and keep the soil evenly moist for best results. Harvest heads when firm and compact, cutting above the lower leaves to encourage side shoots.
