Brussels Sprout Seeds - Catskill
Description
Catskill is a classic heirloom Brussels sprout known for producing tall, sturdy plants with heavy yields of tight, well-formed sprouts that stack neatly along the stalk. Bred for dependable performance in cool weather, it develops uniform buttons with good density and clean shape, especially as the season shifts into fall. Plants are vigorous and upright, typically reaching 24–36 inches tall, and they tolerate chilly conditions well once established.
The flavor is richly traditional, with a stronger sweetness and deeper character after light frosts. Catskill sprouts are excellent for roasting, sautéing, and steaming, where they hold their shape and develop a satisfying, nutty depth. They also shred well for slaws and quick pan dishes, offering a tender-crisp texture when harvested at peak firmness. For the best eating quality, harvest sprouts when they are tight and fully formed, starting from the bottom of the stalk upward.
This variety became widely appreciated in the northeastern United States for its reliability and strong cold-season finish, making it a steady choice for growers who want a late harvest crop that improves as temperatures drop. With proper timing and consistent moisture, Catskill delivers a long picking window and a productive stand of sprouts well into fall, rewarding patience with quality that feels made for the cold end of the garden year.
