F1 Maximus
F1 Maximus Brussel Sprouts
We think these are some of the best sprouts you’ll ever grow! Smooth, sweet, and perfectly shaped, they form neat, even-sized buttons from the base of the stem right to the top. Deliciously tender and full of flavour, they hold beautifully on the plant — so whether you fancy them for a festive feast in November or a hearty roast in January, they’ll still taste fantastic!
Harvest
September to February.
Growing Instructions
-
Spacing: Plant 60cm apart to give each plant room to thrive.
-
Positioning: Choose a sheltered but sunny spot for strong, upright growth.
-
Watering: Keep well watered until established and during dry spells.
-
Protection: Watch out for cabbage white butterflies — use fine netting or mesh to keep them away.
-
Feeding: Apply a nitrogen-rich fertiliser midway through the season to boost sprout size and flavour.
-
Support: As plants grow tall, stake them to prevent wind damage.
Top Tips
- Harvest Trick: Pick from the bottom upwards for a continuous supply of perfect sprouts.
-
Frost Bonus: A light frost actually sweetens the flavour — so don’t rush to harvest them all at once!
