Description
Brussels Sprouts Long Island Seeds - Irish Plants Direct
An old heirloom semi dwarf variety producing stout stems of closely spaced sprouts with excellent flavour.
Plants grow to around 60 to 70 cm tall, remaining compact and self supporting, making them well suited to exposed sites and smaller gardens. The sprouts are sweet and nutty, maturing over a long period for harvests throughout the winter.
This reliable variety is valued for its robust growth, cold hardiness, and steady cropping. It is a traditional choice for allotments and kitchen gardens, providing a dependable supply of fresh sprouts from late autumn into the new year.
Seed Qty Approx 1 gram
Sow February to April indoors or in a seed bed
Germination 7 to 14 days in cool steady conditions
Soil and Position Fertile firm soil in full sun. Prefers neutral to alkaline conditions
Height Approx 60 to 70 cm with a stocky upright habit
Harvest November to January. Pick sprouts from the base upwards as they mature
Sowing Instructions
Sow seeds thinly in trays or modules indoors at 13°C, or directly outdoors in shallow drills 2 cm deep. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle, spacing 60 cm apart in rows 60 cm apart. Firm soil well around plants to encourage strong stems.
Grow and Maintenance
Keep soil moist during dry spells and apply a nitrogen rich feed in midsummer. Earth up around stems to improve stability. Protect young plants from cabbage root fly with collars and netting. Remove yellowing leaves to improve air circulation. Harvest sprouts regularly from the bottom of the stem upwards.
Uses and Benefits
Perfect for winter harvests, providing a steady supply of sweet and nutty sprouts. Compact plants are ideal for smaller gardens and exposed sites. Excellent for steaming, roasting, or adding to hearty winter dishes. A traditional heirloom variety that combines flavour, reliability, and cold hardiness.
