Broccoli Di Cicco is a vigorous, light-green plant with Italian origins from circa 1890. Plants produce 3 to 4 inch bluish green central head, with many medium sized side shoots for a prolonged harvest. Though not uniform at maturity, Di Cicco is noted to be the best tasting. This is a great choice for spring or fall planting. After the central head is harvested, a second yield of edible side shoots will develop.
