Broccoli 'Claret'

Claret likes a position of partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Claret is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Ensure your soil is loamy and sandy and has a ph of between 6.2 and 7.2 as Broccoli is a weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

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 Claret about 42 days before your last frost date.

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