Produces a number of tender sprouting broccoli florettes. These are very popular vegetable in Italy, especially in the South. There are an enormous number of varieties.

First, you can grow it at any time of the year. You do NOT have to grow it in cool weather. In southern Italy, they are planted in late summer and are harvested through the mild winter (that is the reason to grow varieties with different days to maturity: plant them all at the same time then harvest for months). Grow it that way if you live in an area with Mediterranean climate or with mild winters.  Nice assertive taste. Can be grown from transplants but easiest from direct seed. Spring, summer, fall.
