Where Can You Grow Broccoli?

Broccoli thrives in cooler weather and is best planted during autumn and winter in most regions of Australia. Sow directly into prepared beds or start seedlings in trays for transplanting. Broccoli grows well in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. In warmer climates, choose heat-tolerant varieties or grow during the cooler months to prevent bolting.

For continuous harvests, stagger your plantings every few weeks and include sprouting types that produce side shoots after the main head is cut.

Health Benefits of Broccoli

Broccoli is rich in fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, and important minerals such as potassium and iron. It also contains sulforaphane, a plant compound linked to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Adding broccoli to your diet supports immunity, bone health, and overall wellbeing.
