Castle Dome Hybrid Broccoli Seeds

Get ready to meet Castle Dome hybrid, the speedy and heat-tolerant broccoli variety that’s set to become your new garden favorite. In just 50 days from setting out transplants, you’ll be enjoying hefty domes and plenty of side shoots. Standing under 2 feet tall, Castle Dome is compact and perfect for fitting into your veggie patch.

If you loved Packman, Castle Dome is its supercharged successor. It matures a week sooner and can handle the heat like a champ, staying strong and not bolting to flower even as things warm up. It’s perfect for an early start or a late finish in the growing season, making it a fantastic choice for gardeners who like to get the most out of their plants.

The broccoli heads are a sight to behold – uniform, mid-green, and packed with small, tight beads. They’ll wait for you in the field without losing quality, giving you flexibility on harvest time. Plus, Castle Dome is resistant to hollow stem and brown bead, which means you’ll get more beautiful and healthy harvests.

Whether you’re cutting florets, crowns, or bunching, this variety has got you covered. After you pick the main head, it’ll keep on giving with numerous side shoots. It’s a resilient plant that performs well even when the going gets tough.

When it’s time to plant, sow the seeds directly or transplant them when they’ve got four true leaves. Prep your soil with a bit of TLC, adding nitrogen if needed, and balancing out any pH extremes. For spring planting, harvest before the heat cranks up to 80 degrees. For a fall harvest, begin 10 to 12 weeks before the first expected frost.

Space your seeds or seedlings 18 inches apart with 2 feet between rows. Harvest the central head promptly to encourage those side shoots to flourish, extending your broccoli bounty.

This Park Seed standout comes in a packet of 100 seeds, ready to claim its throne in your garden. Remember, whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting out, Castle Dome hybrid is the royalty of broccoli, just waiting to grace your table. Packet contains approximately 2.4 grams.
