The broccoli and cauliflower families both lay claim to this dramatic vegetable. Discovered in 16th century Italy, it sends up small spirals that curve to form a large spiral head. Break it apart and eat it raw or steamed. Prized for its delicate, nutty flavor as well as its vivid, light green color. May reach 3' before producing. The broccoli head shape is a fractal called the Fibonacci Spiral. Soil and Water: Prefers nearly neutral soils rich in organic matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea var. botrytis\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabbage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKitchen profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual Heirloom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open-Pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet with a separately listed bulk option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70-85°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\"-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-14 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight At Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75-100 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun\/Shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partial Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing After Thinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\"-24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchedule Romanesco Broccoli for the cool-season planting window appropriate to your climate. Start seed in a protected setting or direct sow when the product record allows, then thin or transplant so each plant has room to develop. Check moisture at root depth and adjust irrigation to weather and soil rather than a universal schedule. As maturity approaches, inspect head, stem, or leaf development according to the crop type and harvest at the preferred size and firmness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLime the soil to a pH of 7.0 or higher in areas with clubroot problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting and Growing: Time indoor sowing so that plants are no more than 5 weeks old at transplant time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow outdoors when soil temperatures are at least 60°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA temperamental plant, sensitive to under watering or under fertilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing Romanesco Broccoli, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/how-to-grow-broccoli-a-growing-guide\"\u003eBroccoli Growing Guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peaceful Valley","offers":[{"title":"Pack","offer_id":41622922559601,"sku":"SNV8423","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":41622922526833,"sku":"SNV8423B","price":111.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/organic-broccoli-romanesco_f50a615f-b644-4fdb-9925-88d8f7f304cc.jpg?v=1747079815","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/romanesco-broccoli-seeds-organic","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
