Arcadia Hybrid Treated Broccoli Seeds

Papaw’s Garden Supply: Helping The Next Generation To Grow With Nature. Arcadia broccoli is an early to mid-season hybrid variety of Brassica oleracea var. Italica. This variety is popular with commercial and home growers because of its disease resistance and tolerance to cold and heat. It has large, domed heads of tightly clustered flowers growing at the top of thick, stiff stalks. The dark green tops of the floret clusters are small-beaded and give off a frosted appearance. When young, the florets are small and surrounded by lance-shaped leaves. The crowns can measure anywhere from 15 to 20 centimeters (5-7 ½ inches) in diameter when fully mature and can weigh more than 2 pounds apiece. The thick stems and florets offer a crisp texture with an earthy, peppery flavor akin to members of the cruciferous family.
