The ideal time to plant broccoli in Australia is during autumn and spring. These cooler seasons help broccoli grow best, producing strong main heads and healthy side shoots. Learn what else you can plant in Melbourne in autumn.
Broccoli takes approximately 10–14 weeks to reach full maturity. After the main head is cut, the side shoots continue producing for continuous harvests, allowing for multiple picks over the growing season. Learn more in our Melbourne veggie planting guide.
Broccoli grows best in full sun but can tolerate light shade in warmer climates. Full sun promotes healthy growth and larger heads, while some shade may prevent the plant from bolting in summer.
Each broccoli plant produces one large main head, followed by numerous side shoots after the main harvest. This allows for multiple harvests from a single plant, maximising your yield.
