Early Purple Sprouting

Early Purple Sprouting is the most popular purple sprouting broccoli for UK gardens, producing masses of tender purple florets in late winter and early spring when the garden is at its hungriest. It is very frost-hardy and reliably overwinters to deliver a heavy crop of tasty spears from February onwards. An essential brassica for year-round cropping.
