Broccoli 'Iron Man'

Position in a partial sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Iron Man 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 Iron Man likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 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 Iron Man about 42 days before your last frost date.

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