About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You will especially appreciate ‚Di Cicco’ for its rich side-branch development. The main crown remains rather small, but the plant provides new, delicate florets for cutting over a long period. Because the heads do not ripen at the same time, it is well suited for continuous kitchen harvest rather than a single large harvest. Self-sown, you can re-sow the seed yourself.

You will find it robustly spicy and pleasantly chalky. The young side florets are especially delicate and taste good raw in salad.
