Harris Seeds Broccoli Emerald Crown F1 Plant Seed, Treated, 10,000 Count

Harris Seeds Broccoli Emerald Crown F1 is a medium-maturing hybrid broccoli that produces uniform, firm, domed heads. The heads have blue-green coloring and small, closely sized beads, while the compact plants have a small frame. Emerald Crown is noted for resistance to purpling during cool growing periods, helping the heads retain their color in cooler conditions. The variety is suited to late-summer plantings for fall harvest and is used for broccoli crown cuts. Harris Seeds lists approximately 77 days to maturity, with germination typically taking 6 to 10 days under suitable conditions. Seeds are generally started indoors and transplanted, though planting schedules should reflect local growing conditions. Broccoli is harvested by cutting the central head while the buds remain closed. This treated 10,000-count seed package is suitable for larger vegetable gardens or production plantings where uniform heads and compact plants are useful.
