Brassica oleracea. 45-60 days. Our favorite variety of Chinese broccoli chosen from trials that included eight contestants. We like Blue Star’s moderately thick stems, incredible flavor, and easy-to-grow nature. Small plants send up stems up to 1″ thick, with small broccoli-like clusters on top. Due to the small stature, Gai Lan should be grown at…

A heat-tolerant, small heading broccoli similar to broccolini. Where it really shines is not in its initial small head, but in the endless tasty side shoot production. Piracicaba Broccoli’s small shoots and loose florets make it seem like it could be the primordial ancestor of modern supermarket hybrid broccoli.
