Broccoli 'Early Sprouting'

Early Sprouting likes a position of partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Early Sprouting 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. Early Sprouting 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.

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 Early Sprouting about 42 days before your last frost date.

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