Waltham is a variety of broccoli known for its sturdiness and ability to withstand the cold days of fall. This plant produces large, dark blue-green heads that can grow up to 6 inches wide on long stalks. It was originally bred in 1954 to withstand the increasingly cold fall weather. While it is a little heat-sensitive, it can be successfully grown by planting early in the season for an early harvest or later in July for a fall harvest. Waltham is a reliable and resilient plant that will provide a bountiful harvest for those who take the time to cultivate it.
