Cardinal is a superb British bred variety for harvesting at the end of the broccoli season in late March to early May (the year after sowing). Look forward to large purple heads with a great taste. This variety will take your harvest on after Purple Sprouting Early. Price for 24 seeds.
SOW your broccoli seeds 10mm deep. For a succession sow an early variety first, then later varieties
