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

Grow dependable, early-season harvests with Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This open-pollinated heirloom Brassica oleracea is prized for its deep purple florets, excellent cold tolerance, and extended harvest window. Unlike single-head broccoli types, Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli produces a central head followed by abundant side shoots, delivering fresh broccoli from late winter through spring when planted at the right time. Its sweet, earthy flavor and nutrient-dense sprouts make it a favorite for home gardeners focused on both taste and productivity.

Cold-Hardy and Productive Heirloom Variety:

  • Early-maturing, cool-season broccoli ideal for overwintering in mild climates
  • Produces a central head followed by multiple purple side shoots
  • Grows 30–36 inches tall with strong, upright plants
  • Thrives in full sun to partial shade
  • Adapted to a wide range of soils and growing conditions

Tasty and Nutrient-Rich:

  • Mild, sweet, and earthy flavor that improves after light frost
  • Excellent for roasting, steaming, stir-fries, soups, and salads
  • Sprouts and microgreens are especially rich in sulforaphane
  • A nutritious addition to fresh eating and cooked meals

Why Customers Love Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli:

  • Continuous harvest instead of a single head
  • Reliable performance in cool and cold weather
  • Heirloom and open-pollinated for seed saving
  • Beautiful purple florets that add color to the garden and plate
  • Well-suited for home gardens and seasonal growing

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow seeds indoors or directly outdoors during cool weather. Transplant seedlings once they are sturdy and temperatures remain cool. Space plants adequately to allow for full growth and side shoot production. Harvest the central head first, then continue harvesting side shoots regularly to encourage ongoing production. Best grown as a fall planting for overwintering or early spring harvests, depending on climate.
