Jade Cross Brussels Sprouts Seeds
Jade Cross Brussels Sprouts Seeds yield a renowned early hybrid celebrated for its uniform, deep green sprouts and vigorous productivity. Jade Cross forms sturdy, upright plants about 2.5 to 3 feet tall, with compact, tight spacing of 1-inch diameter sprouts that develop consistently up the entire stalk. This award-winning variety matures in about 90 to 100 days, producing prolific yields with nutty, mild flavor and medium firmness—ideal for roasting, steaming, or sautéing. Jade Cross is a 1959 All-America Selections winner, offering strong field performance and good resistance to adverse weather, making it a top choice for both home and commercial growers.
Growing Information
Planting Method: Best started indoors and transplanted, but can also be sown directly when soil warms to 60–65°F.
Timing: Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost; transplant or direct sow after danger of frost.
Spacing: 18–24 inches between plants and 2–3 feet between rows.
Soil & Conditions: Fertile, compost-rich soil and consistent moisture support the best growth; mulch to retain soil moisture.
Days to Maturity: 90–100 days from transplant.
Harvest: Pick sprouts when firm and about 1 inch across, starting from the bottom up. For a full-stalk harvest, top the plant 4–6 weeks before harvest to promote uniform sizing.
