Broccoli Spigariello

Overview

Broccoli Spigariello

A traditional Italian leaf broccoli, Spigariello is grown for its tender leaves and shoots rather than a single large head. It produces a continuous supply of nutritious, leafy greens with a mild, slightly sweet broccoli flavour, perfect for harvesting over an extended period.

Well suited to Irish growing conditions, this hardy variety thrives in cooler weather and is ideal for autumn cropping. Its cut-and-come-again habit makes it a great choice for kitchen gardens, offering fresh greens for steaming, sautéing, or adding to pasta dishes.

Gardener’s Tip

Sow from late spring into summer in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny position. Keep plants well-watered and feed regularly to encourage strong leafy growth.

Harvest leaves regularly to promote fresh new shoots. Frequent picking helps extend the cropping period, giving you a steady supply of greens well into the cooler months.
