Days to Maturity: 85 from direct sow; 55 from transplantAAS Winner 2015Who knew that growing broccoli could actually be fun. Delicious, yes; rewarding, certainly. But until now, not really enjoyable. But Artwork Hybrid is out to change that, with its unique growth habit and extra-long season of harvest.This award-winning variety begins as an ordinary crown broccoli—the big headed type we all grew up eating—but once you cut or pinch off the central crown, long side-shoots begin to arise, packed with succulent flavor. Cut them at anywhere from 6 to 8 inches long and new ones will spring up to replace them. Before you know it, youve harvested up to 20 gourmet sweet stem broccoli shoots, and Artwork is the last broccoli in the garden still producing.The secret to getting the most out of Artwork is to get rid of that central crown quickly. Cut it for eating when its just an inch or so in diameter, or pinch it away even sooner if you dont need to harvest it. As soon as you do, the side-shoots begin to take off. Expect the first ones to be ready for harvest about 10 days after youve removed the central crown. Cut them promptly, and get ready to watch their replacements appear.Many broccoli are better suited to crowning than to side shoot production because they tend to bolt (begin flowering) in hot weather—and hot weather is exactly what most of us have all summer long in the garden. Artwork, on the other hand, is very bolt-resistant, keeping its tight beads even when the temperature climbs. This gives you many more weeks of production . . . and means that new side-shoots can arise even in late summer, when other sweet stem broccoli varieties are done.Artwork reaches about 8 inches wide and can top out at close to 2 feet, depending on how tall you let it grow. It has a tender texture right to the base of the stem, and richly flavored beads that top the stems like icing on the cake. Expect 10 to 20 side-shoots from every plant, plus the central crown. Thats a lot of gourmet deliciousness from a single plant.Winner of an All-America Selection award, Artwork is ready to take off in your garden. Sow the seeds of this cool-season crop directly, or transplant the seedlings into the garden when they have 4 true leaves (about 8 weeks from germinating). Before planting, prepare the soil well, adding nitrogen if necessary and neutralizing heavily alkaline or acid soils. For spring crops, start seeds indoors 5 to 7 weeks before last frost date, then set out when the soil is warm enough to work. If planting in fall, start 10 to 12 weeks before first frost date. Space seeds or transplants 18 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart.

Superior Germination Through Superior Science

Park Seed's humidity- and temperature-controlled seed storage vault

Park Seed offers some of the highest-quality vegetable and flower seeds available in the industry, and there are a number of reasons for this.

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Superior Standards - University Inspected

Testing seeds against minimum germination standards

To make sure we are providing the best seed product possible and that our customers will get the highest number of seedlings from every packet, we conduct our own germination testing and have quality-control measures in every stage of our seed-handling operation. We hold ourselves to standards that are at or above federal and state standards, including testing specific crops more frequently than recommended by federal guidelines. And in order to maintain our organic certification, we welcome Clemson University to inspect us annually to make sure our organic seeds, which are stored and processed separately, are being handled properly.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
