Millennium Broccoli Seed
Best hybrid broccoli for gardeners seeking reliable, all-season harvests.
Millennium Broccoli Seed offers a high-quality, dual-season harvest with perfectly domed, light green to blue-green heads measuring 4-5 inches across. This hybrid variety features a very fine bead and maintains remarkable quality even in challenging conditions. The adaptable plants develop an upright architecture and show good heat tolerance. For fall and winter plantings, Millennium demonstrates excellent field holding capabilities and superior performance when dealing with waterlogging. Broccoli is a rich source of vitamins C, K, and B-complex, and its calcium is absorbed more effectively by the human body than that found in milk.
