Product Description
High yields and excellent flavor. Bella Verde produces attractive shoots with long, 7–8 inch stems with very good eating quality. The large vigorous plants will produce over several weeks if harvested promptly. Harvest central head at 3 inch diameter or pinch to encourage greater side-shoot production. Similar to BC1611, but with lighter green, more tender, and more flavorful florets. A mini broccoli that delivers on both yield and taste.
