brussels sprouts ‘jade cross e’

Angelo’s Farm Market veggies are specifically selected for home growers to be productive, disease resistant, and flavorful. Look for ‘Jade Cross’ producing strong, 30″ tall stalks packed with solid, well-formed, 1.5″, blue-green sprouts that mature early, and produce high yields of crisp, mild goodness. This variety is not only disease resistant, but also bolt resistant and drought tolerant. Harvest after frost until December when sprouts are firm. Maturity: 85 days

Plant in sunny, well-drained, nutrient rich soil or containers amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water once a week throughout the growing season. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Garden-tone®. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
