Green Magic Broccoli Plugs

Be sure to check out our Broccoli Growing Guide for more tips & tricks on successfully growing broccoli at home.

We're starting them for you! We're excited to offer plug bundles for our Green Magic Broccoli. Green Magic Broccoli is a hybrid variety that is especially heat-tolerant. It performs well in early spring through late spring, and can be planted earlier in fall than traditional varieties. The exceptional heat tolerance ensures the broccoli heads are slow to bolt and go to seed, ensuring great texture and flavor on harvested crowns. Seeds are fast to germinate and compact plants mature at about 2′ tall. In addition to heat tolerance, Green Magic Broccoli is known for its smooth and uniform heads. Plants produce consistently-sized heads for the first harvest, and will continue to produce side shoots for a second and third harvest. Green Magic heads have a buttery texture and great flavor.

Broccoli crowns should be harvested when they are dark green, before any flowers or Seeds develop on the crowns. As temperatures warm in the spring, broccoli crowns will mature faster and should be monitored. Although broccoli leaves are frost-tolerant, broccoli heads are not. If frost is imminent while crowns are developing, be sure to use some form of row cover to protect the crowns from frost.
