Known for its tender, sweet, and mildly nutty flavor, Piracicaba produces small, loose heads and abundant side shoots, ensuring a continuous harvest. Unlike traditional broccoli, this variety thrives in higher temperatures, making it an excellent choice for summer and early fall crops. Ideal for fresh eating, stir-fries, and light steaming.

Start broccoli seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed them outdoors around 2 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) deep and cover lightly with soil, keeping it moist until germination, which typically occurs within 7-10 days.

When seedlings are ready, transplant them into a sunny location about 2 weeks before the last frost date. Space plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow ample room for growth. For added protection, use row covers to reduce damage from flea beetles and cabbage moth caterpillars.
