Planting Instructions
• Days to Maturity: 85-100 days
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep.
• Plant Spacing: Space seedlings 18-24 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
• Days to Germination: 5-10 days in optimal conditions.
• Start Indoors or Direct Sow: For best results, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last expected frost. Transplant seedlings outdoors once they are 4-6 inches tall and the soil is consistently above 50°F. Direct sowing can be done in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest in cooler regions.
Growing Tips
Long Island Improved Brussels Sprouts thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. These hardy plants prefer cool weather and grow best in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Harvest the sprouts when they are firm, 1-2 inches in diameter, starting from the bottom of the stalk and working upward. The cool temperatures of fall enhance their flavor, making them sweeter and more tender.
