Broccoli ‘Summer Purple’ (Purple Sprouting)

This robust, British-bred variety produces high yields with regular picking, and crops from July to November if sown at regular intervals.

Companion planting: Try growing broccoli with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles.
