Long Island Improved Brussels Sprouts – The Timeless Heirloom Standard for Quality and Yield
Long Island Improved Brussels Sprouts is the legendary gold standard for home gardeners. It’s been the most popular open-pollinated variety since the 1890s because it is just so reliable. At The Seed Guy, we consider this a "crowd favorite" because it is perfectly suited for the home gardener who wants a massive harvest without the plants taking over the entire garden plot. This semi-dwarf variety grows sturdy, compact stalks that become heavily crowded with 50 to 100 sprouts each.
The sprouts are closely tucked against the stem, reaching about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. They are firm, flavorful, and incredibly nutritious. Any vegetable that can go from seed to table while providing both a stunning visual and incredible flavor is a gardener's dream, and the Long Island Improved is a winter-harvest champion. Because these plants are exceptionally frost-tolerant, the flavor actually intensifies and sweetens as the temperature drops, making them the highlight of any autumn or winter feast.

Long Island Improved - Brussels Sprouts Planting Instructions:
1. Timing: Brussels Sprouts require a long, cool growing season. For most regions, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost, or start in mid-summer for a late fall harvest.
2. Sowing: Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. If starting indoors, transplant to the garden once seedlings are 4-6 inches tall.
3. Care: These are "heavy feeders." Work plenty of compost into the soil before planting. Ensure consistent watering, especially during the heat of late summer, to prevent the sprouts from becoming bitter.
4. Harvesting: Begin harvesting from the bottom of the stalk upward when the sprouts are firm and about 1 inch in diameter. For the absolute best flavor, wait until after the first one or two frosts of the season.
5. Pests & Disease: Use row covers to protect young plants from cabbage loopers and aphids. Crop rotation is essential to prevent soil-borne diseases in the brassica family.
Brassica oleracea
