Territorial Seed Company Emerald Crown
Best hybrid broccoli for home gardeners seeking sweet, high-yield harvests.
These hybrid seeds prioritize reliable, high-yield harvests of sweet, succulent broccoli over heirloom variety. While you sacrifice the novelty of traditional cultivars, you gain a remarkably consistent, heat-tolerant plant that keeps producing tender side-shoots long after the main head is harvested.
