Description

(October-December).

British breeding at its best! Maturing before our very popular Trafalgar. Brussels Sprout Bosworth F1 has excellent holding ability, to give firm, smooth dark green, sweet tasting buttons, well spaced on the stem for easy picking. Initial trials show good downy mildew tolerance.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds March to April, thinly into a well-prepared seed bed. Make successional sowings, 1cm (½ inch) deep in drills 30cm (12 inches) apart.

Growing Instructions

Thin seedlings to 10cm (4 inches) apart when large enough to handle, then later transplant to final position, allowing 75cmx75cm (30x30 inches) between plants. Water well until plants are established.

Aftercare

Prefers a moist, rich, well drained soil. Harvest November to December. Plants can be harvested for an 8 week period.

Nutritional Information
