How to grow Broccoli 'Coastal'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Coastal 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 Coastal likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Coastal 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 Coastal about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Coastal

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