Harris Seeds Marathon F1 Broccoli

Marathon broccoli is one of the widely used varieties in California for production in the cool weather season. It also performs well in the Northeast for a late summer and fall crop. The large, blue-green heads have high, smooth, tight domes and small, fine beads. Plants produce heavy heads and have intermediate resistance to downy mildew. Marathon is an excellent choice for bunching and the crown cut market. Also available as plants through our Exclusive 51 Strip Vegetable Plant Program!
