Ok, I’m having the worst time finding the above mentioned perennial broccoli. Every seed/plant company I have found on the internet have been out of the US and they don’t ship to the U.S. is there anyone stateside that has seeds or cutting of the aforementioned broccoli? I’m glad to chip in for cost and shipping.

I am sorry you are having problems finding nine-star broccoli.

Is there a reason for wanting this variety?

Would another variety work?

Maybe Broccoli Raab?

Hi Katie, welcome to Permies,
I don't know about the US, but there are a few companies mentioned in this thread on sourcing in Canada that may ship to the US.

I really like my nine star, it looks like cauliflower but tastes like broccoli. It doesn't seem to be perennial if you let it go to seed though - hoping for more seed this year :)

Hi Anne,

I’m looking for nine star specifically because it is perennial and much hardier in my zone. Broccoli Raab is not for me, although I do have some broccoli raab. If I’m lucky, I can get maybe 2 seasons out of it, but not all the time.

Have you tried calabrese that was mentioned in one of those threads?
