Promise a rewarding growing experience, producing perfectly domed green heads with firm crunchy stems and a magnificent flavour that fits all kinds of dishes with this Thompson & Morgan Broccoli Belstar F1 Hybrid Calabrese Seeds. You'll find these seeds easy to grow whether sowing directly in your garden or starting in pots, and their long shelf life means you can enjoy fresh homegrown broccoli for longer. With an RHS Award of Garden Merit, this variety thrives in full sun or semi shade and reaches up to 45cm in height, making it a brilliant choice for both new and experienced gardeners. How to grow: Sow broccoli seeds thinly in a well-prepared seed bed from April to June at a depth of 13mm (1/2") in rows 30cm (12") apart. Thin seedlings to 10cm (4") apart when large enough to handle. Transplant to their final positions around 5 weeks later when the seedlings have four or five leaves. Alternatively, sow in pots or a seed tray of good seed compost and cover with 6mm (1/4") of compost or vermiculite at a minimum of 15C (60F) until germination, which takes around seven days. At first leaf stage, prick out into individual cell trays or 7.5cm (3") pots.
