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

Grow a historic, reliable favorite with Long Island Improved Brussels Sprouts Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. First introduced in the late 1800s, this time-tested heirloom variety is valued for its compact plant size, dependable yields, and excellent cold tolerance. The sturdy plants produce dozens of firm, medium-sized sprouts with a rich, nutty flavor that becomes noticeably sweeter after exposure to light frost.

Well suited for fall and early spring planting, Long Island Improved Brussels sprouts perform consistently in cool-weather conditions, making them a dependable choice for home gardeners and small-scale growers alike. This nutritious crop is high in vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, supporting both productive gardens and well-rounded meals.

Historic, Cold-Hardy Heirloom Variety:
Long Island Improved Brussels Sprout (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera) is known for:

  • Compact, sturdy plants
  • Uniform, medium-sized sprouts with excellent texture
  • Reliable performance in cool-season gardens

Why Customers Love Long Island Improved Brussels Sprouts:

  • Heritage variety grown successfully for over a century
  • High yields on compact plants, ideal for smaller gardens
  • Flavor improves after frost for sweeter, richer sprouts
  • Performs well in spring and fall plantings
  • Open-pollinated and non-GMO seeds suitable for seed saving

How to Use / How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors when soil temperatures are cool and workable. Transplant seedlings into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Provide consistent moisture and adequate spacing to support strong stalk development. Plants tolerate light frosts and continue to produce high-quality sprouts late into the season.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest sprouts from the lower portion of the stalk upward as they firm up. For the best flavor, allow plants to experience a light frost before harvest. Enjoy fresh, or blanch and freeze for long-term storage.
