~ Seed for BRUSSELS SPROUTS ~

'Sanda' Brussels Sprout

The essential cold-weather vegetable.  Sanda is extremely cold hardy for harvesting throughout the winter.  We like it because it makes nice round tight sprouts quite early in the year, but then stands well for a long time overwinter .

Cold-hardy. Sow March/April for harvesting Nov onwards.

'Roodnerf' Brussels Sprout

An old Dutch strain with a good reputation for producing large numbers of nice tight sprouts. In scientific studies of vegetable pests it has been found to be particularly resistant to insects and disease.

Well regarded as one of the best of the old fashioned sprout varieties still in existence. But it is tall, so not for windy sites.

A renowned heirloom variety much relied on since it was introduced in the 1880’s - another one with compact plants that don’t blow over so easily, with closely packed sprouts.

Widely adapted, it does well in most climates.
