Broccoli, Di Ciccio  

Brassica oleracea (48-85 days)

Old reliable European variety, compact 2-3’ plant with 3-4” bluish-green central head, then lots of medium sized side shoots.  Excellent eating quality has endeared this heirloom variety to gardeners who continue to grow it over strains that may make bigger heads, but lack true flavor.  Variable productivity.  Introduced in 1890.  HEIRLOOM, SSF
