This variety is a solid choice for Utah because it's heat-tolerant and performs well in our variable spring and fall seasons (with good resistance to bolting in warmer spells), matures quickly enough to fit our shorter cool-season windows using transplants, and thrives in fertile, well-drained soil under full sun—many growers find it reliable for consistent heads in northern Utah conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt City Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Individual Plant","offer_id":44848921706605,"sku":"grnm-broc-01","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2-Pack","offer_id":44907814420589,"sku":"grnm-broc-02","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-Pack","offer_id":44848921739373,"sku":"grnm-broc-04","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/6774\/9997\/files\/GreenMagic.jpg?v=1773698038"},{"product_id":"imperial-broccoli","title":"Imperial Broccoli","description":"\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eImperial broccoli is a hybrid variety prized for its heat-tolerant performance, producing medium to large, semi-domed heads with tight, small-beaded florets in a deep, attractive dark green color, typically 6-8 inches across on vigorous plants.
