Bonnie Plants Lieutenant Broccoli is a mid-early variety live broccoli plant with smooth, dark-green heads and few side shoots. For the best results, space these plants (which grow great in containers) 18 inches apart from each other when planting your vegetable garden. The broccoli heads grow well in warm weather, reaching a size of 6-8 inches, 55-65 days after planting. For the best results, plant broccoli plants between 18-26 inches apart. Judge harvest time by bud tightness, not overall head size. Cut heads that are large and fully developed with tight buds. Once broccoli buds start to crack open, stems and buds lose their appealing texture, becoming mealy and even woody. To harvest, cut stems just below heads. Allow plants to remain in place; buds along stems and side shoots will form smaller heads perfect for salads and stir-fries. Use Miracle-Gro Soil and Plant Food to grow Bonnie Plants Lieutenant Broccoli live plants and enjoy your best harvest yet.
