Disease-Resistant, High-Yield Sprouts for Fall Harvests

Brussels Sprouts Nautic is a sturdy, reliable hybrid variety renowned for its tightly wrapped, uniform sprouts and outstanding disease resistance. Maturing in about 120 days from transplant, Nautic produces 1-inch, smooth, tender “buttons” that are spaced slightly apart along the stalk for improved airflow, making harvesting easier and reducing the risk of disease. This cool-season performer thrives in fall and early winter gardens, with flavor that becomes even sweeter after exposure to frost.

Nautic is ideal for home gardeners and market growers seeking a consistent, high-quality crop of Brussels sprouts. The compact plants reach 24–30 inches in height and are vigorous and sturdy, supporting heavy yields of flavorful sprouts over an extended harvest window. The wide spacing between buds not only promotes plant health but also simplifies picking individual sprouts. Nautic is loaded with dietary fiber, vitamin K, and antioxidants, making it a nutritious addition to any meal.

To grow Nautic, start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before your last frost date and transplant outdoors when seedlings have 4–5 true leaves. Space plants 18 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches apart in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0–6.5. Provide consistent moisture and high fertility early in development. For best sprout development, snap off the growing tip of the plant in late summer, which encourages the upper sprouts to mature evenly. Harvest sprouts from the bottom up as they reach 1–1.5 inches in diameter, continuing for 4–6 weeks through late fall.

Growing Success Tips:

• Start seeds indoors and transplant for optimal results; maintain even soil moisture.
• Fertilize well at planting and side-dress with compost or balanced fertilizer during early growth.
• Snap off the plant’s top in late summer to encourage larger, uniform sprouts.
• Harvest after light frosts for the sweetest, most tender flavor.

Brussels Sprouts Nautic delivers exceptional value with its disease resistance, uniform high yields, and improved harvest ease. Its compact, sturdy plants and sweet, nutritious sprouts make it a must-have for fall and winter gardens.
For the best flavor and texture, harvest sprouts after a few light frosts have sweetened them.
