🥦 Broccoli – Green Magic (3”)

Meet Green Magic Broccoli – the superstar of your cool-season veggie garden! This compact, heat-tolerant variety produces beautiful, deep-green heads with excellent flavor and tenderness. It’s a favorite among Southern gardeners because it thrives in our Zone 8/9 climate, making it perfect for fall and early spring harvests.

🌱 A Little History

Broccoli has been cultivated since Roman times, prized for its health benefits and crisp texture. The Green Magic variety was bred for consistent, high-quality heads that perform well even in warmer regions – meaning you’ll get a reliable harvest season after season.

🏡 Where It Grows Best

• USDA Zones: 3–10 (ideal for Zone 8/9 fall planting)

• Sun: Full sun (6–8 hours per day)

• Soil: Rich, well-draining soil with good moisture retention

• Spacing: 18–24” apart for best head development

🌿 Care Instructions

1. Planting: Transplant your 3” Green Magic start into well-amended soil enriched with compost.

2. Watering: Keep soil evenly moist – not soggy – for tender heads.

3. Feeding: Fertilize with a balanced vegetable fertilizer every 3–4 weeks.

4. Harvesting: Heads are ready when they are tight and dark green (usually 55–60 days from transplant). Cut with 5–6” of stem, and enjoy bonus side shoots for extended harvest!

🌸 Companion Planting

Green Magic pairs beautifully with:

• Herbs: Dill, chamomile, and sage (repels pests)

• Flowers: Marigolds (keep bugs away)

• Veggies: Beets, onions, and celery for a healthy, diverse garden bed

This broccoli is not just delicious — it’s packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, making it a wonderful way to nourish your family straight from the garden. 🌿✨
