Umpqua Broccoli Seed is certified organic. (95 days). Open-pollinated. Developed in 1990 by Tim Peters, gets its name from the Umpqua River in Oregon.

Handsome uniform dark-green 5–6" heads. A great producer of abundant side shoots over a long harvest window, Umpqua is an ideal home-garden variety for the fall. We’re happy to have a new and outstanding seed crop.

100 seed per pack. 94% germination.

Days to maturity are from direct seeding. Subtract 20 days from date of transplanting.

Note: We cannot ship packets greater than ½ oz. (14 grams) of any Brassica into the Willamette Valley. The State of Oregon prohibits shipping any commercial quantity of untreated Brassica, Raphanus or Sinapis because of a quarantine to control Blackleg.

Broccoli Culture: Hardy. Require warm temperatures to germinate (68-86° ideal) but need 60s during seedling stage for optimal growth; higher temperatures make seedlings leggy. Heavy feeders; for best growth, need regular moisture and 2-3' spacing. Have done well for us succeeding onions and garlic in beds. Cauliflower and broccoli are damaged by hard frosts, especially in spring.
