Species and varieties: Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera) are a member of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes cabbage, broccoli, and kale. There are several varieties of Brussels sprouts, including 'Long Island Improved', 'Jade Cross', and 'Diablo'.
Hybrid or heirloom: European organic Brussels sprouts seeds can be either hybrid or heirloom. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, while hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as disease resistance and uniformity.
Pruning and training: Brussels sprouts benefit from regular pruning to remove yellowing leaves and promote air circulation. Pinching off the growing tip of the plant about a month before the first expected frost can encourage the development of larger sprouts.
Fertilization needs: Brussels sprouts are heavy feeders and benefit from regular fertilization. Incorporate a balanced fertilizer or compost into the soil before planting. Side-dress with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and sprout development.
Hardiness zones: Brussels sprouts are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 2-9. They thrive in cooler climates and can tolerate light frosts, making them ideal for fall and winter gardens.
Climate requirements: Brussels sprouts require a cool growing season with temperatures between 45-75°F (7-24°C). They prefer full sun and well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Consistent moisture is essential for optimal growth.
