Broccoli 'Albert'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Albert is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ensure your soil is loamy and sandy and has a ph of between 6.2 and 7.2 as Broccoli is a weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.51 inches (1.3 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Albert about 42 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Albert is a tender plant.
