Spidra's Purple Sprouting Broccoli 'Purple Peacock'
Brassica oleracea var. italica

“Hybrid. Large, purple heads and side shoots with colorful, deeply-cut, purple, pink-veined, round-edged kale-like leaves. 2 1/2-foot plants with 2 o 3 foot spread. Heads and leaves turn dark green when cooked. 92 days to maturity” “Our contribution to ongoing broccoli evolution; green beads, sweet purple stems, toothy red veined leaves that will make you think it’s Red Russian kale. Young leaves are salad-rate, and mature leaves are as sweet as any lightly steamed kale. Floret stems erupt first as loose heads of broccoli, followed by prodigious side shoots. These are sweet and non-biting as raw “dippers” and salad additions. This “eat everything brockali” comes from crosses between ‘Green Goliath’ broccoli and two kales.”
