A Foglia di Olivo Broccoletto is a famous yet difficult to find olive leaf broccoli raab. This has a long smooth leaf shaped like an olive leaf (unlike the jagged edges normally found). 14-15 inches high with a thick stem.

Very nice taste. Like the Spigariello, used as much for the leaf production as for the shoots.

Planting Instructions

Indoors: 6-8 weeks before last frost sow seeds 1/4 - 1/2" deep into peat pots to germinate in 10 days at 70 F. 2-3 weeks before last frost transplant seedlings into garden, 2 ft. apart, in rows 2-3 ft. apart.

Outdoors: In early spring sow seeds 1/4" deep in sun & rich soil, spacing as above. Sow outdoors in spring, and again in fall in mild climates. Harvest main heads while still compact and lateral side-shoots until killing frosts occur.
