Fothergill's Brussels Sprout Brechin F1 Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Brassica oleracea gemmifera, a superior F1 hybrid bred for uniformity and vigour.
• Winter Essential: Fast-maturing habit ensures sprouts are ready for the Christmas dinner table and the following winter period.
• Disease Resistance: High-quality F1 genetics provide excellent natural resistance to common brassica diseases, ensuring a healthier crop.
• Weather Resilient: Mature sprouts are designed to "hold" well on the stem, maintaining their quality in the garden until you are ready to harvest.
• Nutritional Profile: An exceptional homegrown source of Vitamin C and folate, essential for winter health.
• Growth Position: Performs best in a full sun position to encourage the development of firm, tight buttons.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing: Sow in a well-prepared seedbed or modules; transplant to their final position once large enough to handle, ensuring the soil is firmed in well.
• Soil Requirements: Thrives in fertile, well-drained soil; brassicas prefer a firm footing to prevent wind-rock during winter gales.
• Maintenance: Keep the soil moist during dry spells. In exposed areas, we recommend staking the plants as they grow taller to support the heavy stems.
• Protection: Use netting to protect young plants from birds and cabbage white butterflies throughout the growing season.
