Darkmar 21 Brussels Sprouts

Darkmar 21 is a robust European heirloom Brussels sprout producing long, upright stalks lined with firm, tight, dark blue-green buttons that have a rich, nutty flavor mellowing beautifully with roasting or steaming. When roasted until the outer leaves char slightly, these Brussels sprouts are absolutely transformed — tender inside, crispy outside, with a deep, almost caramel-like sweetness. Nutritious, productive, and one of the most rewarding cool-season crops in the garden.
