Slow growing variety, also known as rapini or broccoli rabe.
About this variety
Slow growing variety, also known as rapini or broccoli rabe. This variety is ready to harvest within 150 days and can be grown all year round, although best sown April-May. It is slower to make heads and bolt than San Marzano, making it slightly easier to grow. Prized as a delicacy in Italy for its sweet and slightly bitter taste, cima di rapa translates as 'turnip greens', the plants produce large serrated edible leaves much like a turnip and delicate flowering florets. The leaves, stems and florets can all be eaten. (Approximate seed count - 300)
