This traditional Italian broccoli variety forms a compact, tender central head followed by a generous flush of side shoots, giving a long and productive harvest window. The plants are vigorous yet manageable in size, making them ideal for home gardens, raised beds and small‑scale market growers.
The heads are firm, green and pleasantly aromatic, perfect for steaming, sautÃĐing, roasting or adding to pasta dishes and soups. With its early cycle and reliable regrowth, this Calabrian type is a favourite for gardeners who want steady yields and authentic Mediterranean flavour throughout the season.
