Diablo Brussels Sprouts Seeds – 500 Hybrid Seeds for Planting

Diablo Brussels Sprouts are a popular early-maturing hybrid variety known for producing firm, flavorful sprouts on compact, sturdy plants. This variety is well-suited for home gardens and market growers looking for a reliable harvest of uniform sprouts. The plants grow upright and are relatively easy to manage, making them a great choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Brussels sprouts are a cool-season crop that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Diablo is valued for its early maturity and good holding ability, allowing for extended harvests. The sprouts are typically sweet and tender, especially after a light frost, making them a favorite for roasting, steaming, and freezing.

Planting & Care

Sow Diablo Brussels Sprouts seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or direct sow outdoors in early spring or midsummer for a fall harvest. Plant seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and seedling growth. Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, thin or transplant to 18-24 inches apart.

Brussels sprouts benefit from regular watering and a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize according to soil test recommendations. To encourage larger sprouts, you can remove the growing tip about 3-4 weeks before harvest. Harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stalk upward when they are firm and about 1-2 inches in diameter. Frost improves flavor, so plants can be left in the garden into late fall.
