How to grow Broccoli 'White Eye'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that White Eye is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. White Eye requires a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 6.2 - 7.2 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing White Eye from seed

Look to ensure a distance 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.51 inches (1.3 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting White Eye

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