Romanesco

One of the most beautiful of plants when grown well. Chef Odessa Piper calls romanesco’s cone-shaped somewhat irregular whorl of chartreuse florets “broccoli on acid.”

Culture: Should be started indoors in March or April and transplanted out in late May or June for fall harvest. Needs adequate spacing, a long season and extremely high soil fertility. We had fantastic results planting in raised beds with 8" of well-rotted manure. Well-grown plants are huge and need about 10 sq ft each. Be patient; needs a long season but doesn’t mind cool weather.
