Johnny's Selected Seeds' Broccoli Planting Program is designed to take the guesswork out of succession planting for standard heading broccoli varieties, allowing you to easily extend your harvest throughout the growing season. Succession-plant broccoli varieties in this recommended sequence for a steady supply of broccoli from earliest spring through late-fall in cooler regions, and into winter-harvest in more temperate growing zones.
Refer to our comparison chart to review distinguishing characteristics of mini and sprouting broccoli varieties. Features listed include type, part #, variety, days to maturity / overwintering, relative maturity, vernalization requirement, plant size, heat tolerance, and cold tolerance, along with additional culture notes.
Use our program to determine transplanting and harvesting times for early- and late-sprouting "mini" broccolis, broccoli raabs and choi sums. Succession-plant in this recommended sequence for a steady supply of mini and sprouting broccolis from earliest spring through late-fall in cooler regions, and into winter-harvest in more temperate growing zones.
