Small beads on large, smooth heads with very tightly packed beads and very few side shoots. This remarkably versatile broccoli can be grown year round in cool coastal regions. If you haven't had much luck with broccoli before, try Centennial broccoli seeds. Expect to harvest around three and a half months after transplanting, no matter when you start. So it's a good variety for planting every three or four weeks from spring to late summer. Centennial has a lovely, rich broccoli flavour that is a little sweeter after frost. This is a superb broccoli for CSA programs, as it will produce pretty much all season.
