Brussels Sprout Groninger – The Essential Cold-Weather Vegetable
Product Description
Brussels Sprout ‘Groninger’ is a traditional, cold-hardy variety that has stood the test of time. Originally cultivated in Belgium, this excellent heirloom sprout continues to impress gardeners for its vigorous growth, flavourful harvests, and winter resilience.
Standing around 60–80 cm tall, Groninger produces a heavy yield of tight, button-like sprouts along its sturdy stem. These sprouts mature early in the season and are perfect for harvesting from autumn through winter. In fact, the flavour of this variety improves with the first frosts, giving a sweet, nutty taste that’s hard to beat.
This open-pollinated variety is a top performer for both home growers and allotment enthusiasts. Known for its reliability and productivity, Groninger delivers consistent results even in challenging UK weather conditions. Its sprouts are also ideal for freezing, so you can enjoy homegrown goodness long after the season ends.
Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, Brussels sprouts are one of the healthiest vegetables you can grow. Properly cooked, Groninger sprouts are sweet, tender, and delicious — far removed from the over-boiled versions of the past!
