Features

This showy broccoli produces medium to large, blue-green leaves and a purple crown fringed with lime green edges and stems. Its tender, slightly sweet, non-bitter flavor is a result of being a cross between broccoli and cauliflower. Jaracanda is an early-maturing variety known for producing large, uniform, rounded heads and having a long shelf life.
