    Heat Tolerant

    I planted late and this was one of only 2 broccoli varieties that didn't bolt or get overtaken by pests before I could eat it!

    Hey Bethany,

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our Belstar Broccoli Seeds! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that Belstar came through for you even with that late planting - that heat tolerance really is one of its standout features! It's so frustrating when other varieties bolt or get overwhelmed by pests before you can enjoy your harvest, so we love that Belstar proved to be such a reliable performer in challenging conditions. Keep on growing 🌻️

    Excellent Germination and Production

    These started off slowly, but are really making good progress now. I put them out as almost strands to make sure to get them started in relatively cool weather, and fully expected them to fail. I’ve heard it’s difficult to grow broccoli from seed. Thee are thriving and I can’t wait to see how they finish!
