Jacaranda Broccoli

seeds
Brassica oleracea (botrytis group)
(72 days) F-1 hybrid.

In a purple panic when Violet Queen was dropped, we clinked our glasses too soon over Burgundy—its utility patent violates Fedco’s seed ethics. Luckily, our trials revealed Jacaranda—large broad easy-to-harvest purple heads held high on tall bushy plants. Unusual and distinct from those aforementioned purple passions. Excellent for a fall harvest, Jacaranda can be cut at full head stage, or can be left to open for floret or “stick” style harvests. Colorful florets and sweet tender stems are superb raw or lightly steamed. A veggie for our times: let us recall the 1989 anti-apartheid slogan “The purple shall govern,” which developed after police hosed down protesters with purple water.
