Description
Brassica oleracea var. italica, known as Broccoli, with the "Baby Bunting" cultivar, is a dwarf variety perfect for growing in the ground, in pots, or in vegetable/herb gardens. This compact form produces tender florets suitable for smaller spaces, making it ideal for urban gardening. For optimal growth, provide full sun to partial shade and regular water, ensuring well-drained soil.
Harvesting "Baby Bunting" is a breeze; simply cut the main head along with some stem when it's firm and green, usually around 60 to 80 days after planting. This encourages the growth of smaller side shoots, extending the harvest season. Once harvested, store the fresh broccoli in the refrigerator, where it can last up to two weeks. The dwarf nature of this cultivar and the ongoing harvest make it an appealing choice for gardeners looking to enjoy fresh, homegrown produce.
