Calabrese and Broccoli - what’s the difference? Supermarkets, for whatever reason decided to swap the names around. So we just wanted to help clarify what’s what. Calabrese are smaller plants that will produce a large green crown/heads, they are grown from spring to early summer and crop the same year. Broccoli or sprouting broccoli is typically an over winter type that produces large plants with lots of small heads/florets/purple spears. These are grown from late spring to late summer and harvest from late winter to the following spring.
