Brussels Sprouts Catskill is a time-honored heirloom variety prized for its exceptional productivity, superior flavor development, and reliable performance in cool-season growing environments. These non-GMO seeds produce sturdy, compact plants reaching 18–24 inches in height, each stem yielding abundant tightly-formed sprouts measuring 1–1.5 inches in diameter. The sprouts develop a naturally firm texture with a mild, nutty flavor profile that deepens and sweetens beautifully following light frost exposure — making fall harvest the most rewarding time to grow Catskill. Ready in approximately 90–100 days.

Why Choose Brussels Sprouts Catskill?

• Easy to Grow: Reliable performer with minimal special care — forgiving for beginning and experienced gardeners alike.

Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last spring frost, or 12–14 weeks before first fall frost for a fall harvest. Transplant outdoors when seedlings are 4–6 inches tall.
• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for best sprout development.
• Soil: Rich, well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5. Amend with compost before planting.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼–½ inch deep indoors. Transplant seedlings outdoors when 4–6 weeks old.
• Spacing: Space plants 18–24 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches apart — good air circulation is essential.
• Watering: Water deeply and consistently; keep soil evenly moist. Mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
• Support: Stake or mound soil around the base of taller plants to prevent wind rock as plants mature.
• Fertilizing: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer at transplant; side-dress with additional nitrogen 4 weeks after transplanting to support heavy sprout production.
• Harvesting: Harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stalk upward as they reach 1–1.5 inches. Allow light frosts to sweeten flavor before final harvest. Remove lower yellowing leaves as the season progresses.
