'Brilliant F1' Brussels Sprout Plants
- Does any vegetable get a worse rep than the humble sprout? Probably not. Unfairly so? Abso-Brussels-lutely!
- One of the easiest (and most distinctive-looking) vegetables to grow, we feel that sprout plants should be a firm staple of any brassica-focused plot
- Aptly named, 'Brilliant F1' plants produce high-quality, flavourful sprout buds on tall, central stems
- Slow-growing though these plants may be, taking several months before the sprouts are ready to harvest, the results are certainly worth the wait! Cook your sprouts in butter and garlic (chucking in some bacon for good measure) and you've got yourself a delectable seasonal side dish
- Plant towards the end of spring and you'll have Brussels sprouts ready to harvest throughout the autumn and even into winter. You can also plant later on in the year in autumn
- F1 varieties are hybrids that have typically been bred for benefits like improved yields and greater resistance to disease
- If able, plant your sprouts in a sheltered position to protect from strong winds
