Decorative and mild red Brussels sprouts.
Red Ball forms small, purple-red florets with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Growing it is no different from other Brussels sprout varieties; the florets turn color in autumn, and cooler temperatures promote color development. Harvest before hard frost.
Sow from early March to May using pre-sowing methods; then transplant at a spacing of 50 x 50 cm. Harvest takes place from late September to late December.
Brussels sprouts are heavy feeders and must be supplied with sufficient nutrients.
