Thompson & Morgan Broccoli Purple Rain F1 Hybrid

BUYERS NOTES

British breeding especially for summer and autumn cropping as needs no vernalisation (winter chill) to produce tasty purple spears. Robust plants will produce high yields if picked regularly to promote fresh flushes of spears. Good heat tolerance.
