Broccoli 'Aquiles' (Calabrese)

Broccoli 'Aquiles' stands out as a remarkable calabrese variety, known for its impressive performance and early maturation. Within approximately 65 days of transplanting, gardeners can expect to harvest smooth, fine-domed heads that are not only visually appealing but also packed with flavour. This variety produces a consistent yield of dark green, tightly clustered florets, ensuring that each harvest is bountiful. After the central head is harvested, 'Aquiles' continues to provide smaller side shoots, allowing for an extended harvesting period that maximizes the productivity of your garden.One of the key advantages of Broccoli 'Aquiles' is its exceptional space efficiency, as it can thrive in tighter planting arrangements compared to many other broccoli varieties. This characteristic makes it an excellent choice for those with limited garden space or smaller plots. While it is primarily favored for early sowings and summer cropping, 'Aquiles' is versatile enough to be sown in the autumn months, where it can be overwintered to yield high-quality heads in late spring. Additionally, its strong resistance to downy mildew ensures that gardeners can enjoy both the delicious taste and reliable harvests that this variety offers.Height: 60cm (24in). Spread: 75cm (30in).
