Brussels Sprouts Planting Program

Extend Your Brussels Sprouts Harvest

Plant several varieties of Brussels sprouts that have different maturity dates at the same time, and harvest in succession. The less cold-hardy Brussels sprouts varieties are faster-growing, and the more cold-hardy Brussels sprouts varieties are slower-growing. Each variety will mature in its appropriate seasonal slot from a spring planting. Growers in regions with longer growing seasons can typically make more plantings of varieties with longer days to maturity. Varieties are selected for quick growth so they develop full heads.
