Brussels Sprouts
'Ruby'
50+ seeds
Brussel sprouts are a great winter garden plant which are improved by frost and have a long growing season. The plant itself is unusual and the sprouts can be harvested from the bottom upwards by picking them before they begin to open. This is an heirloom variety which produces red/purple brussels sprouts with a milder, nuttier flavour than the green one. Well worth a try!
