Broccoli Sprouting White Burbank F1 (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is a vigorous hybrid variety producing elegant, pale green-white spears with a mild, nutty flavour and tender texture. Bred for overwintering and early spring harvests, it’s ideal for raised beds, allotments, and cool-season cropping offering a refined alternative to traditional purple sprouting types.

 

 

Thriving in fertile, moisture-retentive soil, White Burbank F1 flourishes in full sun and delivers uniform growth, strong disease resistance, and excellent cold tolerance.

 

Its delicate spears are perfect for steaming, stir-frying, or adding to seasonal dishes, while the plants support biodiversity with nectar-rich blooms.

Growing On:

Protect young plants from cabbage root fly and caterpillars. Harvest spears when they are 10–15 cm long and before flower buds open. Cut regularly to encourage further cropping.

 

 

Broccoli Sprouting White Burbank F1 offers hybrid vigour, subtle colour, and gourmet flavour in a cold hardy, nutrient rich crop. A standout choice for early harvests and refined seasonal cooking.
