British breeding at its best! Maturing before our very popular Trafalgar. Excellent holding ability, to give firm, smooth dark green, sweet tasting buttons, well spaced on the stem for easy picking. Initial trials show good downy mildew tolerance.
Sow March to April, thinly into a well-prepared seed bed. Make successional sowings, 1cm (½ inch) deep in drills 30cm (12 inches) apart.
Prefers a moist, rich, well drained soil. Harvest November to December. Plants can be harvested for an 8 week period.
Brussels Sprouts are a good source of Vitamin C and high in antioxidants.
