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.

Why Choose Brussels Sprouts Catskill?

• Frost-Sweetened Flavor: Mild, nutty taste that deepens and sweetens after light frost — the hallmark of a well-grown Brussels sprout.
• Compact & Productive: 18–24 inch plants pack on abundant 1–1.5 inch sprouts up and down each stem.
• Cool-Season Champion: Thrives in fall and winter conditions where most warm-season crops fail.
• Easy to Grow: Reliable performer with minimal special care — forgiving for beginning and experienced gardeners alike.
• Multi-Purpose Kitchen Vegetable: Perfect for roasting, steaming, sautéing, and stir-frying.
• Heirloom Quality: Open-pollinated and passed down for at least 75 years — grows true year after year.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6 hours per day for best sprout development.
• Soil: Rich, well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5. Amend with compost before planting.
• Planting: 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.
• 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.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced nitrogen-rich fertilizer at transplant; side-dress with additional nitrogen 4 weeks after transplanting to support heavy sprout production.
• Support: Stake or mound soil around the base of taller plants to prevent wind rock as plants mature.
• 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.
