Description

Flower Sprouts is a very young, English cross between Brussels sprouts and kale. The name is derived from the English word also known as kalettes (from the English word kale), cabbage florets, wild Brussels sprouts or, in America, lollipops.

Growing tips

Cultivate from the end of March on the windowsill or from April under cover in the open ground. If the soil is very poor, add some horse manure or horn shavings to the planting hole. Stabilize the plants with sticks to prevent them from toppling over.
