How to grow Broccoli 'Green Mountain'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Green Mountain is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Green Mountain needs a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 6.2 to 7.2 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Green Mountain from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.51 inches (1.3 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between Broccoli plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 10°C / 50°F.

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

Transplanting Green Mountain

Green Mountain is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
