How to grow Broccoli 'Garnet'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Garnet likes a position of partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Garnet is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy and sandy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.2 and 7.2 as Garnet likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Garnet from seed

Sow 0.51 inches (1.3 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 5.85 inches (15.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Garnet

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