Broccoli Seeds

Grow tender, flavorful broccoli at home with our premium Calabrese Broccoli Seeds. Calabrese is a classic Italian heirloom variety known for producing large central heads of tightly packed, blue-green florets with a rich, sweet flavor.

Perfect for vegetable gardens, raised beds, and cool-season planting, Calabrese broccoli is a reliable choice for home gardeners looking for generous heads and productive side-shoot harvests. Fresh broccoli is excellent for steaming, roasting, stir-fries, soups, salads, and a wide variety of healthy meals.

Broccoli performs best in cool growing conditions with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. With proper spacing and regular care, Calabrese plants can produce a large main head followed by numerous smaller side shoots throughout the growing season.
