Broccoli Sweet Stem 'Stemia' Strip Pack
3 FOR £10
Broccoli 'Stemia' is a relatively new variety of broccoli that is known for its sweet and tender stems. 'Stemia' broccoli produces vigorous plants that produce long, well-branched crops of flattened heads from July through to October. When the central head is cut, this triggers the production of an abundance of smaller side shoots that can be harvested over an 8-10 week period if cut regularly. This extended harvest period makes it a great choice for gardeners who want to enjoy fresh broccoli for an extended period.
In addition to its extended harvest period, 'Stemia' broccoli is also known for its versatility in the kitchen. It is delicious when used in quiches or steamed as a nutritious accompaniment to roast dinners. The tender stems have a sweet and delicate flavour that pairs well with a variety of seasonings and ingredients.
It is a relatively easy-to-grow variety that can be cultivated in a variety of soil types and conditions. It requires full sun and regular watering to ensure that the soil stays moist. To protect the kale from birds and insects keep it covered with netting.
