Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix or well-prepared garden soil. Keep the soil evenly moist and maintain a temperature of 65–75°F for best germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to the recommended spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrussels sprouts thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants are about 4 weeks old. For best flavor, harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stem upward after they reach 1–1.5 inches in diameter. Frost exposure enhances sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e500 Jade Cross Brussels Sprouts seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824620634422,"sku":"FOLIA2-785","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6770163323_govs.jpg?v=1793003703","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/jade-cross-brussels-sprouts-seeds-compact-high-yield-cold-hardy-variety-500-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
