I ordered these seeds last year, and planted them this spring. They are kale, not broccoli of any kind. The seeds produced a lot of dark leaves that have the typical embossed texture of dinosaur kale. There is no broccoli head or crown of any kind. If you're looking for Romanesco broccoli, this is NOT the place.

I ordered this last season and grew it out and it turned out to be dinosaur kale - a much less expensive seed and much more common vegetable. Bait and Switch? By the end of the gardening season, I was too busy and too tired to seek a refund for lousey seeds. Buyer beware on these seeds!

I planted the seeds the day they came in the mail. I planted them in the greenhouse along with broccoli and cabbage. The cabbage and broccoli came up in 4-7 days. Two of the Romanesco Broccoli came up. It has been over 15 days and if the seeds are going to germinate it would of happened by now. The temperature in the greenhouse it a constant 65-80 degrees. I would like replacement seed or my money back.

I ordered this and another type of seed from the seller. Shipment was immediate, packaging adequate, instructions were included. Since it's not time to plant yet, I don't know if seeds will germinate, but the service has been good and I would order from Hirt's again.

Update: The seeds germinated just fine, grew well until the deer and aphids hit, but I still got four solid plants that produced. Only two of them had the odd fractal shape, the other two looked more like regular broccoli. All of it tasted very good. Would buy again.

i planted this broccoli as directed. it sprouted up in a short amount of time and was looking great. then suddenly it just kind of died out in the sproutling phase. i was really looking foward to trying this because it looks so interested and different. supposedly it has a great taste as well. maybe it was something i did. i'll try again. i would buy some but have never seen it in a market

I received my order on time and was pleased with the packaging and seeding information. I would recommend a more detailed description of the plant, not just directions for seeding. Other than that, the service was amazing. Thank you very much and i will be ordering from you again. :)
