~ 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 sprout. Sow March/April for harvesting throughout the winter

'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.

'Long Island' Brussels Sprout
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.

Saving Brussels Sprout Seed:
Brussels sprouts are in the same family as Broccoli,
so follow the pictures there.
There are more detailed home-seed saving guides (printable) over to the left of this page,
in the box titled 'SeedSaving', with sheets on drying and storing your seed too.
And of course, seed-saving is only possible because these are all real, non-hybrid varieties.
