Broccoli "Artwork'

All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 2015

Who knew that growing broccoli could actually be fun. Delicious, yes; rewarding, certainly. But until now, not really enjoyable. But Artwork Hybrid is out to change that, with its unique growth habit and extra-long season of harvest.

This award-winning variety begins as an ordinary crown broccoli—the big "headed" type we all grew up eating—but once you cut or pinch off the central crown, long side-shoots begin to arise, packed with succulent flavor. Cut them at anywhere from 6 to 8 inches long and new ones will spring up to replace them. Before you know it, you've harvested up to 20 gourmet "sweet stem" broccoli shoots, and Artwork is the last broccoli in the garden still producing.
