Nautic Brussels Sprouts: Sturdy, Disease-Resistant Variety for Bountiful Harvests
Discover the Nautic Brussels sprouts, a robust and dependable variety that promises tightly wrapped sprouts and exceptional disease resistance. Maturing in 120 days, these sturdy plants stand tall at 24-30 inches, offering a generous yield of compact, flavorful sprouts. Nautic’s reliability and consistent performance make it a favorite among both novice gardeners and seasoned growers alike.
Nautic Brussels sprouts excel in both productivity and quality. Their tightly wrapped sprouts ensure superior freshness and a satisfying crunch, perfect for roasting, sautéing, or adding raw to salads. The plants’ strong disease resistance means less worry about common brassica ailments, allowing you to focus on nurturing your crop to its full potential. With proper care, Nautic rewards growers with an abundant harvest of nutritious, delicious sprouts.
These Brussels sprouts thrive when given ample space, with an ideal spacing of 18 inches between plants. The sturdy stalks support heavy sprout production, especially when topped in late summer to encourage fuller development. Nautic’s extended growing season results in a prolonged harvest period, providing fresh sprouts well into the cooler months when many other vegetables have long since finished.
Growing Success Tips:
- Fertilize well at planting time to support strong initial growth
- Snap off plant tops in late summer to boost sprout production
- Maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season
- Harvest sprouts from the bottom up as they reach 1-1.5 inches in diameter
Nautic Brussels sprouts offer an excellent return on investment for home gardeners and market growers alike. Their disease resistance and reliable yield make them a smart choice for those seeking a low-maintenance, high-reward crop. For an extra flavor boost, wait to harvest until after the first frost, which naturally sweetens the sprouts.
