What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

A striking heirloom Brussels sprout with vibrant purple-red sprouts, nutty-sweet flavor, and excellent cold-hardiness for dependable harvests.

Why Grow This Variety
Looking for something truly unique in your garden? Red Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera) combine dependable yields with stunning deep red-purple sprouts that hold their color even after cooking. This heirloom variety not only adds visual interest to your garden beds and dinner plates but also delivers the same cold-hardy reliability as green Brussels sprouts. With a rich, nutty-sweet flavor that improves after frost, these colorful sprouts turn everyday meals into something special.

  • Unique Purple-Red Sprouts – Adds striking color to garden beds and dinner plates, holding hue even after cooking.
  • Nutty-Sweet Flavor – Rich taste that improves after frost, perfect for roasting, sautéing, or steaming.
  • Cold-Hardy & Dependable – Compact plants thrive in cool weather and produce steady harvests.
  • Compact but Productive – Stalks reach 24–36 inches with firm, well-formed sprouts.
  • Eye-Catching Heirloom – An open-pollinated, non-GMO variety that brings both beauty and nutrition to your garden.

How to Grow
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last spring frost or sow directly outdoors for a fall crop. Plant ¼–½ inch deep in well-drained soil, keeping seedlings evenly watered as they establish. Space plants 18–24 inches apart with 30–36 inches between rows to allow for sturdy growth. Red Brussels sprouts grow to 24–36 inches tall, producing firm sprouts along the stalk that mature from the bottom up. For best results, remove lower leaves as sprouts form, stake plants in windy spots, and harvest regularly to extend your picking window. Expect 90–110 days from transplant to harvest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
