I'm wondering if anyone knows of a source for 9-Star Perennial Broccoli seeds in Canada. The only places I can find them online are in the UK, and they don't ship them to Canada. Anybody have a source?

Thanks!
Tracy

Tracy,

Territorial seed imports some caulifower/broccoli seeds that I believe is related to 9-star.  If you trialed  some of their overwintering cauliflower/broccoli seeds you could probably sellect for perrenial and other favorable traits.

So will these be perennial in zone 3b? The description says perennial 'down to zone 7' or 'in zone 8'

Monica, welcome to the forum.

I ask Mr. Google who said "(9-star) Broccoli can be grown as a perennial even in areas where temperatures hit minus 20 degrees" so I hope this helps.

Thanks, Anna! I should of thought to ask The Great Google. So interesting. I never thought of perennial broccoli. Confirmed it. Google says, "Nine Star Broccoli – A perennial that will stick around for at least three years, Nine Star ( Brassica oleracea Italica Group) is hardy in zones three to 10. With yellowy heads that resemble cauliflower, Nine Star tastes just like sprouting broccoli"
