White Eye (late)

White Eye Sprouting Broccoli
A top-performing, vigorous variety that produces an abundance of large, tender, creamy-white spears with a smooth, sweet flavour. This reliable crop delivers over a long harvesting period and is perfect for steaming, roasting, or adding to stir-fries. Easy to grow and bursting with goodness — a must-have for early-season harvests!

Harvest
March to April – pick when spears are well-formed but before the flower buds open for the best taste and texture.

Growing Instructions

• Spacing & Positioning: Plant 60cm apart in a sunny, sheltered position in well-drained soil.

• Watering: Keep well watered until established and during dry spells to maintain tender spears.

• Encouraging Growth: Remove the central spear first to promote plenty of delicious side shoots.

• Insects: Protect from cabbage white butterflies with fine mesh or fleece netting.

• Harvest at the Right Time: Cut spears before buds open to ensure the best flavour.

Top Tips

• Continuous Picking: Regular harvesting encourages new shoots for a longer cropping season.

• Feeding: Use a liquid fertiliser every two weeks during growth for strong, healthy plants.

• Cooking Tip: Steam lightly to retain the creamy sweetness, or roast for a nutty, rich flavour.
