Castle Dome Hybrid Broccoli
Growing Castle Dome Hybrid Broccoli
‘Castle Dome’ Hybrid Broccoli is an early-maturing variety known for vigorous growth, dependable production, and attractive medium-green crowns. Compact plants produce high-domed heads with tight, small beads and continue growing through both warmer and cooler conditions.
Start ‘Castle Dome’ 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 growth and well-formed heads.
Harvest the main crown once it reaches the desired size and the beads are still tight. After the central head is removed, continue checking plants for side shoots that can provide additional smaller florets. The mature heads also hold well in the garden, giving you a little more flexibility at harvest time.
‘Castle Dome’ is well suited for fresh eating, steaming, roasting, sautéing, and other cooked dishes, with both the main heads and side shoots providing useful harvests.
