Burgundy Hybrid Broccoli

‘Burgundy’ is a vibrant hybrid purple sprouting broccoli prized for its adaptability, uniform production, and sweet, mild flavor. Upright plants produce tender purple florets and abundant side shoots, offering a longer harvest window than varieties that form a single large head. Strong heat adaptability and resistance to Fusarium Yellows add to its dependable garden performance.

Start ‘Burgundy’ indoors or sow directly in the garden about ¼ inch deep. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart and grow in full sun. Plants typically reach 24 to 36 inches tall and perform best in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

Ready to harvest in about 65 days, cut the first central floret once it reaches a usable size to encourage vigorous side-shoot production. Continue harvesting the 4- to 6-inch shoots and 1- to 1½-inch heads as they develop for repeated harvests throughout the season.

Sweet, tender, and colorful, ‘Burgundy’ is excellent for fresh eating, steaming, roasting, stir-fries, sautéing, and freezing.
