Brilliant Brussel Sprouts are a high-yielding and reliable variety that produce delicious and nutritious sprouts. These strip multi-packs contain multiple Plants, making them an ideal choice for gardeners who want to grow several plants.

Brussel sprouts prefer a fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot. They can grow up to 60-90cm in height and 45-60cm in spread. Plant them from March to May and space them around 60cm apart, ensuring that the soil is firm around the base of each plant. They can also be planted in containers.

Brilliant Brussel Sprouts are ready to harvest from October to December, depending on when they were planted. The sprouts are formed in the leaf axils of the stem, and they should be harvested when they are firm and about the size of a walnut.

To promote healthy growth, feed the plants with a balanced fertiliser in early summer and again in mid-summer. Keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods, and remove any yellow or diseased leaves to prevent the spread of disease.

Brussel sprouts are a versatile vegetable that can be boiled, steamed, roasted, or sautéed. They are a good source of vitamins C and K, dietary fibre, and antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to any diet.
