Early maturing with medium green, firm, button-like sprouts that are evenly spaced and well formed. Transplant in late April for masses of tasty sprouts late August through September. Plant more seeds in June to be ready for late fall and winter harvests, so you can be the one to bring Brussels sprouts to the holiday dinner parties. Avoid transplanting Brussels sprouts into high nitrogen soils. Gustus Brussels sprout seeds replace the much loved but now unavailable Oliver Brussels sprouts.

Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera |
| Days to Sprout | 7-10 days |
| Days to Maturity | 110 days |
| Exposure | Full-sun |
| Germination Rate | 80% |
| Usual seed life | 3 Years |
| Starting |
Sow 3-4 seeds per pot, 1cm (1/2”) deep, under very bright light. Thin to the strongest plant. Transplants should be set out when they have 6-8 true leaves. Space transplants 45-60cm (18-24″) apart in rows 75-90cm (30-36″) apart. |
| Growing |
Ideal pH: 6.0-7.5. Plant in humus-rich soil amended with composted manure. Mix ¼ cup complete organic fertilizer into the soil under each transplant. High nitrogen levels result in loose sprouts with internal browning, so do not fertilize after midsummer. Cool temperatures during sprout development are important for compact, quality sprouts. |
