Packed with flavour and dependable performance, Brussels sprout 'Groninger' is a traditional heritage variety valued for its generous harvests of large, firm sprouts with a delicate, slightly nutty taste. The well-filled buttons develop evenly along tall, sturdy stems, providing an extended picking season through the colder months. Chilling weather enhances their naturally sweet flavour, making them an excellent choice for roasting, steaming or adding to hearty winter dishes. The attractive blue-green foliage and upright habit also give this variety ornamental appeal in the vegetable garden. Renowned for its reliability and productivity, Brussels sprout 'Groninger' has remained a favourite for generations, producing high-quality sprouts with excellent texture and flavour that are equally suitable for enjoying fresh or freezing for later use. Ultimate height: 75cm (30in). Ultimate spread: 50cm (20in).

Sow Brussels Sprout seed indoors from February. Alternatively direct thinly sow outdoors from March into a well prepared seedbed, for transplanting to their final positions later on. Sow at a depth of 13mm (½") and distance of 30cm (12") between rows.
Indoors, sow seed in 7.5cm (3") pots or trays of free-draining, seed sowing compost and cover with a 6mm (¼") layer of vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 15C (60F) until germination which takes around 7 days. At first leaf stage, or when large enough to handle, prick out into individual cell trays or 7.5cm (3") pots at a minimum of 16C (50F)
Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting outdoors late June -mid July in firm, rich fertile, well drained soil in full sun. Prepare the soil in advance in early spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Plant Brussels Sprout at a distance of 60cm (24") apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.
