Romanesco Broccoli, a captivating and nutritious vegetable, is known for its unique chartreuse fractal spirals. This heirloom variety offers a mild, nutty flavor and a crunchy texture, making it a delightful addition to your garden and culinary creations.

To cultivate Romanesco Broccoli, choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Start the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost or sow them directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Plant the seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep, spacing them 18-24 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist for optimal germination.

Transplant seedlings into the garden when they have at least two sets of true leaves. Provide ample spacing, as Romanesco Broccoli plants can reach substantial sizes. Water regularly and provide a layer of mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
