Brussels Sprout F1 Ruby Crunch Seeds

[180–200 days] F1 Ruby Crunch is a striking red Brussels sprout bred with the festive season in mind. Specifically developed for harvesting around Christmas, this variety produces uniform, richly coloured sprouts with a mild, sweet flavour that holds well in colder conditions. In fact, the chill of winter enhances its vibrant red-purple tones.

The sprouts are tightly formed and easy to pick, with excellent holding ability on the stalk. Their eye-catching colour and tender texture make them a fantastic addition to the Christmas table—best enjoyed steamed or roasted to retain their deep colour and subtle sweetness.

A great choice for growers wanting something a little different, without compromising on taste, yield, or performance. Hardy, productive, and full of flavour.

Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 60cm (24").
