The purple brassicas look so mystical.
Savoy di Verona Cabbage at 2.5 Months
Savoy di Verona is a much larger and later cabbage then the Testa di Ferro. The leaves have a beautiful orchid tinge but aren't very crinkled - that could be due to our warm winter climate. Savoy di Verona seeds are available from Gourmet Seed.
Purple Peacock Broccoli at 2.5 Months
The Purple Peacock is a small plant when compared to the Piracicaba. One of the plants grew exponentially over the last 2 weeks and produced a very unique broccoli head. Like the Piracicaba, it's suppose to produce a lot of side shoots. The leaves are similar to purple kale and can be cooked or used in salads.
Purple Peacock is an ideal size for a square foot garden or a container garden - seeds are available from Wild Garden Seed or Bountiful Gardens.
