Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera "Long Island Improved"

An heirloom variety from the 1890's with high yields, this is top among brussel choices. Semi-dwarf, compact plants produce loads of dense, flavorful sprouts. Sprouts are 1-2” round and each plant produces between 75-100 sprouts.

Type: Annual
Sun: Full
Planting Depth: 1/4”
Spacing: 24”
Water: Moderate
Days to Maturity/Bloom: 100 days
Height: 24”
Zones: 3-9

 

Planting Instructions 

Approx seeds per order 200

This cold-season vegetable should be planted outside as soon as the ground can be worked. It can be direct seeded or transplanted 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Many people start them indoors 6-8 weeks beforehand so they will be ready to harvest in the summer. Once it gets really hot out, the plants will bolt and stop producing.

Warmer climates should do plantings 85-100 days before the first frost of fall so the plants will be growing in cooler weather. This usually means planting in mid summer.

Sow the seeds 1/2” deep and 12-24” apart. Rows should be 36” apart.
