Broccoli Destiny 4.5"

Broccoli Destiny is a popular variety known for its sweet flavor and tender, dark green heads. It’s prized for its early maturity and resistance to heat, making it ideal for warmer climates. An interesting characteristic of the Destiny broccoli is its ability to produce side shoots after the main head is harvested, allowing for an extended harvest season and increased yield.

In southern Louisiana, Destiny broccoli typically grows to a height of 12 to 18 inches with a spread of 12 to 24 inches, forming compact, bushy plants. It thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This variety is cold-tolerant and performs best in cooler temperatures, but it also has good heat resistance, making it well-suited for southern Louisiana's mild winters and warmer growing seasons. Plant in USDA zones 8-11 in early spring or fall for the best results, as it can tolerate light frost but may need protection during hard freezes.
