How to Grow Broccoli - Linda Gray
PREPARATION
There are a number of different types of broccoli, including dwarf varieties that can be grown in containers if your garden space is limited. Broccoli plants don’t tend to grow huge, so most varieties will grow well in containers.
These are a good starting point - Available at Thompson & Morgan at time of writing.
Broccoli 'Ironman' F1 Hybrid (Calabrese)
Grow like a pro with Calebrese Ironman F1. Commercial growers have replaced traditional Marathon with Ironman F1 and so should you! This top performing calabrese offers the longest cropping period from late May through to October, producing uniform blue-green domed heads. A quick-cropper ready to harvest in as little as 75 days after transplanting. Broccoli Ironman F1 shows good tolerance to hollow stem and resistance to bolting. Suitable for closer spacing
