Early Purple Broccoli is a traditional heirloom brassica known for its colorful purple heads and nutritious shoots. Unlike typical single-head broccoli, this variety produces numerous side shoots after harvesting the main central head, extending the harvest window. This makes it a rewarding choice for cool-season gardens, raised beds, and containers. The tender purple florets offer excellent flavor and nutrition and can be used fresh or cooked
