Green Magic
Broccoli Seed
It’s a toss-up whether Green Magic is more valuable for its buttery flavor or for its excellent heat tolerance. This uniform, dependable blue-green beauty sets smooth, nicely domed heads with mid-size beads very tightly packed. It’s suitable for picking the entire crown in one fell swoop, or the central stalk first, then numerous side-shoots as they arise afterwards. Cutting the main head encourages side shoot growth. A favorite in gardens across the country. Great for freezing too.
