An Italian classic, 'Di Cicco' is a superb Heirloom Broccoli variety, producing numerous small to medium-sized sprouts well into the summer for delicious broccoli more often! We recommend harvesting the main head when it is 3" in diameter; this will encourage side shoots. 'Di Cicco' is a good freezer variety; leaves are edible and cooked like chard. Seeds are excellent for sprouting!  Maturity from transplant 48-80 days
