Sow sprouting broccoli seeds in a well-prepared seed bed from March to June at a depth of 13mm and spaced 30cm apart. Transplant to their final positions around five weeks later, when the seedlings have four or five leaves. When growing purple sprouting broccoli, choose a sheltered position in firm, rich, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well-rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Plant purple sprouting broccoli deeply for stability at a distance of 60cm apart, and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting. Product Specifications: Position: Full sun. Height: Up to 90cm when fully established. Spread: Up to 60cm when fully established.
