Planting & Care

Start Gustus Brussels sprout seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, harden them off and transplant to the garden, spacing 18-24 inches apart.

Brussels sprouts thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to package instructions. Harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stalk upward when they are firm and about 1-1.5 inches in diameter. For best flavor, wait until after a light frost.
