Purple Magic Hybrid Broccoli

‘Purple Magic’ is a productive hybrid broccoli prized for its striking purple heads, tight florets, and sweet, tender flavor. Upright plants produce uniform, medium-sized crowns followed by abundant side shoots, giving gardeners an extended harvest from a single planting.

Start ‘Purple Magic’ indoors about ½ inch deep for transplanting. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach about 30 inches tall and perform best in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

Ready to harvest in about 90 days, cut the main crown once the florets are tight and firm and the head reaches about 14 to 15 ounces. Continue checking the plants for side shoots, which can be harvested as they develop for additional harvests.

Sweet, tender, and colorful, ‘Purple Magic’ is excellent for fresh eating, salads, veggie trays, roasting, steaming, and stir-frying. The purple florets turn blue-green when cooked and develop an even sweeter flavor.
