Brussels Sprouts

While not grown commercially in Florida, home gardeners can have Brussels sprouts in their vegetable gardens. Brussels sprouts should be planted in late fall, as they require cool temperatures to develop firm, crunchy sprouts. Two varieties suggested for Florida gardens are 'Jade Cross' and 'Long Island Improved'.
