Sow Indoors or Outdoors: Start seeds 4–6 weeks before the last frost indoors, or sow directly outdoors in early spring after the last frost. Space seeds about 1 inch apart and cover lightly with soil, as they need light to germinate.
Germination: Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65–70°F (18–21°C). Germination usually takes 7–14 days.
Thinning: Once the seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to about 12 inches apart to give them enough space to grow.
Sunlight and Care: Broccoletto prefers full sun but can tolerate light shade. It requires consistent moisture, so water regularly to keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering.
Broccoletto 'Centoventino' is an Italian variety of broccoli rabe known for its tender leaves and slightly bitter, nutty flavor. It's a great addition to salads, stir-fries, and pasta dishes.
