Brussels Sprout Faunus

Product Description

Brussels sprouts are the top end supermarket choice & now you have the chance to grow this delicious vegetable for a fraction of the price! Harvesting from September to December, it's the ideal addition to your winter crop. Buttons also stay fresh on the plants for months & can continue into February. Brussels sprout plants are ideal for beds & borders or raised beds. Height 71-80cm (28-31); spread 41-50cm (16-20). Sow thinly direct into a finely raked, weed-free seedbed at a depth of 1.3cm (½). Germination 7-14 days. Transplant when large enough to handle allowing 60cm (24) between plants each way. Alternatively, seeds can be started off in small pots or modules in a cold frame or cold greenhouse. Plants grow best in a bed that has been manured the autumn before & the ground should be firmed after planting to ensure firm buttons. Pick sprouts from the bottom of the plant & work your way upwards.
