BR08556-100 days. We mix four very flavorful, tender varieties together for a harvest period of about two months from a single sowing date. Contains Belstar, Everest, Southern Comet, and Express. If the broccoli fancier makes one spring sowing and one more in late May/early June, a nearly continuous harvest of big, succulent heads will be enjoyed until fall. Thin carefully, as some varieties grow faster than others.

BR08775 days. A champion broccoli in our spring trials, Express impressed us with its remarkably uniform plants, and magnificent, deep blue/green heads up to 6-7 inches across. It offers strong production of tender, tasty side shoots, and nice, tight florettes. Plants hold their heads up above the foliage for easy harvest. Sow some successive plantings to extend your harvest.
-
BR08866-75 days. Flawlessly uniform, 6-inch heads are beautiful blue-green, densely packed florets. The tightly domed heads are held high off the plants for easy harvest. This variety has excellent field holding capacity and is ideal for both warm and cold weather planting. It performed so well in our trials that it would have been a sin not to offer it.

BR089(OP) B. oleracea Ruvo Group 120 days. Of all the broccoli raab we looked at in our winter trials, Marzatica performed best later in the season, providing ample harvests of robust florets at a time of year when other raab had fizzled out. The flavor is reminiscent of standard broccoli with a touch of mustardy spice. Excellent steamed or stir-fried.

BR09070 days. We were quite impressed with Arcadia's flavorful, crisp florets and uniform heads. Home gardeners and market growers everywhere will be delighted with the versatility of this variety that stands 2 feet tall and has 5 inch wide heads. The tightly domed, purplish-green heads have small to medium bead size.
-
BR09360 days. Blue Wind is sure to blow you away. This extra-early maturing broccoli produces impressively large, tightly beaded heads. The handsome, uniform plants sport uniquely colored, powdery light blue foliage, which stretches above the strong-stemmed, densely packed heads. Good side shoot production will supply a continued harvest of delicious florets. We plant Blue Wind in spring and summer for a continual harvest.
-
BR094Brassica rapa, Ruvo Group 45 days. Zamboni is a connoisseur's heirloom variety that resembles asparagus more than it does the large domed broccoli of today. It has small, turnip-like leaves, and long, tender stems topped with delicate 1 inch flower bud clusters. With a flavor reminiscent of sprouting broccoli, Zamboni is a great addition to salads or sautéed vegetable dishes. Plant from early spring to late summer. Excellent side shoot production on 22 inch tall plants.
-
BR095Brassica rapa, Ruvo Group 40 days. This is the quickest broccoli raab to mature. Sorrento has some of the largest, most uniform dark green florets in the early category, averaging 3-4 inches across. It grows upright to 30 inches. A choice pick for the early gardener and specialty market grower. Harvest the tender leaves, stems, and unopened flower buds; it has a hearty yet mild broccoli flavor.
-
BR10385 days. A fascinating yet attractive and nutritious addition to your broccoli crop, we think Veronica is just as beautiful as it is delicious. Seven-inch heads are formed from clusters of swirling chartreuse spires. A crunchy, sweet addition to a raw vegetable platter or cook as you would any broccoli or cauliflower for a tasty and irresistible treat.
