Plant seeds 1\/4 to 1\/2 inch deep and keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin or transplant seedlings to 18-24 inches apart to allow room for stalk development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrussels sprouts perform best in full sun with regular watering and a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly at planting and again mid-season. As sprouts begin to form along the stalk, remove lower leaves to encourage development. Harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stalk upward when they are firm and about 1-1.5 inches in diameter. A light frost can improve flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Green Gems Brussels Sprout seeds (hybrid).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795557613878,"sku":"FOLIA2-515","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7175961159_nye9.jpg?v=1792671590","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/green-gems-brussels-sprout-seeds-hybrid-bulk-500-vegetable-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
