Ratings & Reviews
Broccoli- Spigariello
Easy and quick to grow (subtropical climate), I’m growing a lot of this in pots and those that are in full winter sun are thriving, easily a foot tall and very leafy. Will definitely grow again.
Broccoli- Spigariello
Grew this last winter and found the leaves quite tasty- a bit of an unusual taste perhaps but found myself using this instead of kale. Seems a vigorous grower.
