Sativa Brussels Sprout
100 days harvest
Brassica oleracea
HEIRLOOM Sativa Brussels Sprouts – One of the most rewarding vegetables to grow, Brussels Sprouts are also one of the most challenging vegetables to grow well in our short seasons. Consistently abundant heirloom varieties are few and far between and Sativa is the best we’ve found.
For the biggest, most flavorful Brussels Sprouts, don’t hold back on fertility and resist harvesting until they’ve experienced at least one month of hard frost. Their tender sweetness is just so worth it!
