Product Overview
Broccoli Italian Sprouting Seed Tape Seeds
Approx 225 seeds 5 metres of tape
Well-rounded heads of consistent size and shape with multiple side shoots for maximum crops over a long period. An excellent source of Vitamin C and antioxidants. Seed tapes are simple to use, reduce the need for thinning, and make planting easier. Plants can become top-heavy as they develop, so pack soil around the base to stabilise them.
We hope you enjoy these tape seeds, just another great example of seeds from Mr Fothergill’s!

Sow in well-cultivated soil in a sunny position. Separate the strips and roll out into prepared rows 5mm deep and 45cm apart. Cover with soil and keep moist. Thin seedlings to 45cm apart when large enough to handle. Harvest when centre heads are well formed, just before the flower heads open. As spears are cut, others will appear in a few weeks. Seedlings emerge in 7–14 days.

These seeds may be treated with a fungicide (Thiram or Apron XL). Do not eat the seeds or feed them to animals. Fungicide treatment is an AQIS requirement for certain varieties of seeds. It does not affect your crops or harm insects such as bees. If your packet has been treated, it will be clearly marked with a warning and the seeds will be dyed a distinct colour.
