Eastern Crown is a broccoli variety grown for large, domed blue-green heads and heavy side-shoot production, which keeps harvests coming after the main head is cut. It tolerates both heat and cold, so it suits tropical and subtropical gardens where standard broccoli struggles. Starter plants are sold in packs of five, ready to transplant, with heads forming roughly 60 to 75 days after transplanting. Buyers of this seller's live plants report mixed results: some arrive healthy and ready to pot, others come wilted, yellow or months late.

Eastern Crown is a broccoli variety sold as 5 live starter plants, ready for transplanting. It produces large, well-domed primary heads with a blue-green color. It also produces plenty of side shoots, which extends the harvest.
The variety tolerates both heat and cold, and suits tropical and subtropical climates. The florets are tender and flavorful. They can be eaten fresh, roasted or steamed.
Plant the starters in a garden bed, raised planter or container. Give them full sun and fertile, well-draining soil. Keep the soil evenly moist and water at the base to help prevent disease.
