Broccoli (classic) Di Cicco Org
An Italian classic, ‘Di Cicco’ is a superb variety, producing numerous, small to medium-sized heads well into the summer for more delicious broccoli more often! We recommend harvesting the main head when it is 3” in diameter; this will encourage side shoots. ‘Di Cicco’ is a good freezer variety; leaves are also edible, cooked like chard. Seeds are excellent for sprouting! This packet sows up to 207 feet.
When to sow outside: 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date, or when soil temperature is at least 40°F, ideally 60°-85°F. Also in late summer for fall harvest.
Mild Climates: Best sown in fall or winter for cool season harvest.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED.
4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date. Transplant 1 to 2 weeks before your average last frost date.
