Petit Posy

Petit Posy Flower Sprout

A fun twist on the traditional sprout! This unique plant is a cross between Brussels sprouts and tasty kale, producing masses of frilly, colourful florets. They have the nutty, sweet flavour of sprouts with a hint of kale, making them perfect even for those who aren’t usually fans of sprouts. Packed with antioxidants, they’re as nutritious as they are beautiful.

Harvest

• Timing: September to Spring, once florets are well formed and vibrant.

Growing Instructions

• Planting: Space 60cm apart in a sunny but sheltered position.

• Soil & Watering: Keep soil well-drained and consistently moist until established, especially in dry periods.

• Protection: Guard against cabbage white butterflies to keep your crop healthy.

Top Tips

• Succession Planting: Sow every few weeks for a steady supply throughout the season.

• Flavour Boost: Frosts can enhance the nutty flavour of the florets.

• Harvesting: Pick florets regularly to encourage continuous growth.

• Companion Planting: Plant alongside onions, garlic, or herbs to help deter pests naturally.
