CULTURE: Flower Sprouts® grow the best florets in fertile soil with a pH of about 6.5–7.5. Water during dry spells to keep growth steady, and give about 75% of the nitrogen you would use for Brussels sprouts. Growing, topping, pest control and harvest otherwise follow Brussels sprouts practice.
TRANSPLANTS: About 800 transplants per 1,000 seeds.
SEED SPECS: About 117,800 seeds per lb.
PACKET: 40 seeds per packet: enough for about 13' direct sown, or about 32 transplants.
