Brassica oleracea
Prolific yields of small, purple broccoli heads on tender stems. Unfortunately the beautiful purple colour is lost when cooked, but the heads remain delicious and nutritious.
Rudolph does best in the cooler months of Autumn, Winter and Spring. The great thing about cooler season planting is the lack of caterpillars and other plant eating insects (which are probably also nutritious, but not so palatable ! )
