Emerald Crown Hybrid Broccoli F1

Be sure to check out our Broccoli Growing Guide for more tips & tricks on successfully growing broccoli at home. Emerald Crown Broccoli is a hybrid broccoli variety that works great for the warm to cool growing season. It is especially tolerant to purpling in cooler temperatures, making it a great variety for fall plantings. Emerald Crown produces large, well-domed heads with fine beads for excellent texture. The plants are relatively small compared to other broccoli varieties, making it a great choice for tighter-spaced areas. The large heads have a bright green, almost blue-green coloration which makes them very visually appealing. This is a great variety to grow after Green Magic in the fall. Plant Green Magic in late summer/early fall and follow with a succession of Emerald Crown. This variety is widely-adapted and grows well in all planting zones. Broccoli may be direct-seeded, but it performs best when transplanted. Transplanting allows for more consistent plant spacing, and
