Organic Broccoli 'De Cicco'
identification
description
Organic 'De Cicco' broccoli is an old Italian variety cherished for its generosity and remarkable ability to extend harvests. In the garden, Brassica oleracea var. italica develops a compact central head of a beautiful bluish-green, followed by numerous side shoots that allow for continuous harvesting over weeks. This progressive abundance brings a lively dynamic to the garden, where each harvest seems to call for another. Highly prized for its tenderness and mild, slightly sweet flavor, it is suitable for steaming, stir-fries, soups, or freezing. Grown in spring or autumn, it prefers cool temperatures that promote tight and flavorful florets. In fertile, moist, and well-drained soil, with good sun exposure, it performs well even for less experienced gardeners. Its vigorous habit beautifully structures the vegetable garden, while contributing to a nourishing and regular harvest. It is a reliable, heritage, and productive broccoli, perfect for those seeking both culinary quality and continuity in the garden.
