Burgundy Hybrid Broccoli

‘Burgundy’ Hybrid Broccoli is a vibrant purple sprouting variety known for its adaptability, uniform production, and sweet, mild flavor. Unlike many purple broccoli varieties, ‘Burgundy’ performs well across a broader range of temperatures, making it a versatile choice for different growing conditions.

Start ‘Burgundy’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden when conditions are suitable for broccoli. Grow plants in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture to support strong, upright growth and steady production.

Harvest the first central floret when it reaches a usable size to encourage vigorous side-shoot development. The plants then produce abundant, concentrated shoots that can be harvested repeatedly throughout the season.

‘Burgundy’ offers strong resistance to Fusarium Yellows and produces tender purple florets that are well suited for fresh eating, steaming, roasting, sautéing, and other cooked dishes.
