‘Purple Sprouting Early’

Most popular among the sprouting varieties, this very hardy variety produces an abundance of dark purple spears in March after being planted out in June from a March-April sowing. After harvesting, the edible sideshoots will soon form again over a long season. Spears turn green after cooking. Price: £1.45/750 seeds. From: www.kingsseeds.com; tel: 01376 570000.
