A beautiful bi-coloured sprout that is much sweeter and nuttier than normal green sprouts and will add an interesting splash of colour to your plate! Brussels Sprout ?Red Darling? is full of vitamin C and dietary fibre and has an interesting purple colour which is created by anthocyanin pigments- an antioxidant which is thought to have excellent health benefits. This interesting variety will produce bumper crops that can be harvested from October until the end of December, making a wonderful addition to Christmas lunch! Shred raw to make pink coleslaw, oven roast or half and add to stir-fries. Height: 90cm (35in). Spread: 50cm (20in). Companion planting: Try growing Brassicas with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles.
