I am SUPER excited about introducing everyone to Spigarello

Classified as both a broccoli and a kale, this has narrow, elegant curly leaves which you can eat as a green all through the winter without apparently compromising the plant, and then in spring, tight, tasty flower buds like purple-sprouting broccoli. These develop further into edible flowers which look and taste delicious and the bees feast away on their nectar and pollen-rich flowers. It’s a four-in-one-plant and has – in my view — got to be grown.

On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
