Long Island Improved Brussel Sprout Seeds

A single stalk of this variety can bear 50-100 dark-green Brussels sprouts (florets) over an extended period.

Compact plants produce sturdy spikes with edible florets that mature from the bottom up and take on sweeter tones after a light frost.

Toward the end of the growing season, cut off the top 4-6 inches of the plant to force it to put it's energy into the existing sprouts; the remaining sprouts should mature in 3-6 weeks.
