A striking new addition for your garden and your dinner plate. This unique variety stands out with its deep purple heads that are as nutritious as they are beautiful. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, 'Burgundy' broccoli is a flavourful and healthy way to elevate your cooking while adding a pop of colour to the garden.

Designed for versatility, 'Burgundy' thrives in a range of settings. Whether you’re working with a traditional vegetable patch, raised planter, or patio container, this compact variety adapts and delivers a reliable harvest. Ideal for gardeners of all levels, it’s a low-maintenance crop that rewards with vibrant growth and a generous yield.

Plant 'Burgundy' in a sunny spot with well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Keep the plants evenly watered, especially during dry periods, and feed with a balanced fertiliser to maximise growth. You’ll begin harvesting the striking purple heads in late summer, with cropping continuing well into autumn.

Not only does 'Burgundy' bring delicious, fresh produce to your table, it also supports your garden’s ecosystem. Its colourful heads attract pollinators, encouraging biodiversity and natural balance. For even greater benefits, grow it alongside companion plants like marigolds or nasturtiums, which help deter pests naturally while enhancing the overall health of your garden.

Enjoy free delivery on these plug plants! Please note: If you add other items to your order then this may include a postage surcharge.

Supplied as 12 plug plants, ready to grow on and plant out.

Top Tips
  • Plant plugs outdoors in mid to late April or May once all risk of frost has passed. For a greenhouse or polytunnel, plant from April.
  • Care Information
  • Acclimatise your plug plants by placing them outdoors during the day and bringing them in at night for 7–10 days before planting.
    • Planting:

      • Choose nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. Add compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil.
      • Grow in a sunny, sheltered spot with 6 - 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. For pots, use containers 30cm wide with multi-purpose compost.
      • Grow in the ground by spacing each plug 45-60cm apart.
      • Dig a hole deep enough to cover the root ball and plant to the same depth as it was in its original pot.
      • Gently firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.

      Caring:

      • Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging.
      • Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
