65 days. Brassica oleracea. Open Pollinated. Spigariello Broccoli. The plant produces good yields of very flavorful broccoli leaves. It is technically broccoli, but without the dense green heads. Instead, it is something like a miniature kale but sweeter and milder. It is an Italian heirloom Broccoli variety; unlike standard heading broccoli, it is grown primarily for its tender, flavorful leaves and small shoots rather than large florets. It is a great source of vitamins A, C, and K, rich in antioxidants, and has anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing properties. You can cut it all season, and it keeps coming back. This fresh green from southern Italy has become quite a hot item among foodies and top chefs. Tolerates hot conditions without bolting. Heat Tolerant. Bolt Resistant. Excellent choice for home gardens. An heirloom variety from Italy.
