How to grow Broccoli 'Munchkin'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Munchkin likes a position of partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Munchkin is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Munchkin needs a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 6.2 to 7.2 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Munchkin from seed

Ensure a distance of 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 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 Munchkin about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Munchkin

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