Description

Just imagine a Brussels Sprout which you can serve at the dinner table, and the children come back for seconds! Thanks to the work of the breeder, continuously striving for a better, sweeter flavour, your wish can now come true with Trafalgar. This modern hybrid produces a heavy crop of medium sized, firm button sprouts from mid December to late March and they keep their excellent quality over a long period of time.

If you don't agree this is the best tasting Brussels Sprout we will give you your money back guaranteed. Please advise the Horticultural Manager in writing of which variety you believe to be better, together with the reasons. Full details available on request. No such claims will be accepted after 31st August 2009.

Sowing Instructions

Sow from end of February to April under glass for the best crops. Outdoors sow in a seed bed in March/April thinly 12mm (½in) deep in rows 23cm (9in) apart. If the soil is dry, water well and allow to drain before sowing.

Aftercare

When the sprouts start to form, pinch out the growing point to assist development. To avoid the danger of Clubroot grow your Brassicas (Cabbages, Sprouts, Cauliflowers etc.) in a different site each year so that they only occupy the same spot once in four years.

Nutritional Information
