- Growing Information: Transplant to their final positions around 5 weeks later when the seedlings have four or five leaves. Choose a sheltered position in firm, rich, fertile, well drained soil in full sun. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to improve its structure and fertility. Plant purple sprouting broccoli deeply for stability at a distance of 60cm (24in) apart, and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.
