How to Grow
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last spring frost or sow directly outdoors for a fall crop. Plant ¼–½ inch deep in well-drained soil, keeping seedlings evenly watered as they establish. Space plants 18–24 inches apart with 30–36 inches between rows to allow for sturdy growth. Red Brussels sprouts grow to 24–36 inches tall, producing firm sprouts along the stalk that mature from the bottom up. For best results, remove lower leaves as sprouts form, stake plants in windy spots, and harvest regularly to extend your picking window. Expect 90–110 days from transplant to harvest.
