Description

Samson F1 Broccoli Seeds

[200 days] A well-producing autumn broccoli, this Calabrese starts off with a tightly packed, dome-shaped main head and then produces copious side shoots after the main head has been harvested. The main heads can be let to stand in the garden for quite a while without any loss of quality (up to about 800g).

Samson F1 has a good tolerance to cold, which makes it a superb late-season variety. Best spring-sown—it’s not recommended for overwintering (i.e. September sowings).
