Broccoli (Purple Sprouting)

Broccoli (Purple Sprouting)

The plant breeders at Tozer have been working on purple sprouting broccoli for some time and have made many improvements. Our first F1 hybrids are now available to purchase and offer a more defined harvest window, a more uniform crop and shorter harvest period. Some of our newest material is only available in limited quantities so ask your local representative about trial sample availability.
