Know before you buy
Aspabroc is a hybrid cross between traditional broccoli and Chinese broccoli (Kai Lan). Unlike standard broccoli that focuses on a large central head, this variety produces tender, asparagus-like stems and smaller florets that are entirely edible.
Because this variety is a prolific producer of side shoots, you can expect an extended harvest period lasting over a month once the plants reach maturity at 50 days.
Yes, Aspabroc is an excellent choice for limited spaces. Its compact growth habit and side-shoot production make it well-suited for raised beds or large containers.
Yes, Aspabroc is versatile and performs well in both spring and fall planting windows. It is an annual vegetable that thrives in moderate watering conditions.
For optimal growth, plant the seeds at a depth of 0.25 inches, spaced 12 inches apart, with 18 inches between rows to allow the plants enough room to develop their side shoots.
