Growing Romanesco Italia from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.51 inches (1.3 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) between Broccoli plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 10°C / 50°F.

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