Broccoli, Di Cicco
(Brassica oleracea var. italica)

Di Cicco Broccoli is a classic Italian heirloom known for its early maturity and abundant side shoots. Rather than producing one large central head, this variety forms a modest main head followed by numerous tender side shoots that extend the harvest for weeks. Reliable and flavorful, Di Cicco has been a favorite in home gardens for generations.

Key Characteristics

  • Continuous Side Shoot Production
    After harvesting the central head, plants produce many smaller shoots along the stem. These tender florets allow for repeated harvests over a long period, making Di Cicco ideal for gardeners who prefer ongoing harvest rather than a single large crop.
  • Rich, Classic Broccoli Flavor
    Florets are tender and flavorful with a mild sweetness, especially in cool weather. Excellent for steaming, roasting, stir-fries, and fresh garden harvests.
  • Early & Reliable Heirloom Variety
    One of the earlier broccoli varieties to mature. Its dependable growth and forgiving nature make it well suited to home gardens and small-scale production.
  • Cool-Season Garden Staple
    Performs best in the cooler conditions of spring and fall. Consistent moisture and fertile soil encourage strong head formation and vigorous side shoot development.
