Description

Red Bull Brussels Sprouts are a productive, open-pollinated variety with dark red sprouts. This variety has a delicate, nutty flavor that is milder than the traditional, green Brussels Sprouts. Flavor and color are enhanced with frosts throughout fall and winter. Red Bull Brussels Sprouts have plants that are 3' tall and produce sprouts that are 1-2" in diameter. The dark red sprouts are very nutritious and hold their color throughout the entire cooking process. Red Bull Brussels Sprouts are great when roasted or cooked in the air fryer.

Growing Information

Brussels sprouts may be direct-seeded, but perform best when transplanted. Transplanting allows for more consistent plant spacing, and prevents Brussels sprouts seedlings from competing with weeds in the early stages of the plant. We recommend starting transplants 3-4 weeks before the desired outdoor planting date. Brussels sprouts transplants grow great in our heavy-duty seed starting trays, where they develop a solid root ball with roots that are trained to grow downward. Plants are ready to go in the ground when they can be easily pulled from the cells in the seed starting tray.

Brussels Sprouts perform best in cooler weather and will have better flavor if the plants have experienced several frosts throughout the growing cycle. To maximize sprout growth, cut or crop the top leaves once sprouts start to develop along the stalk. We suggest using a pair of pruning shears or loppers to do this, as stalks can be quite fibrous and tough to cut with a knife. This will devote more of the plant energy to the sprouts and less to growing more leaves. Side leaves may also be removed to improve sprout development.
