How to grow Broccoli 'Blue Wind'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Blue Wind 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. Blue Wind needs a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 6.2 to 7.2 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Blue Wind 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 Blue Wind about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Blue Wind

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