Heat-Tolerant Hybrid with Large Dome-Shaped Heads
'Marathon' is a heat-tolerant hybrid broccoli variety that produces large, dome-shaped heads 6-8 inches across with tight, uniform beads. This reliable variety reaches maturity in 58-65 days and is known for its exceptional heat tolerance, continuing to produce quality heads even in warmer weather when other varieties bolt. The dark blue-green heads have excellent flavor and texture, perfect for fresh eating, steaming, and stir-fries. After the main head is harvested, the plants produce abundant side-shoots for extended harvest. Disease-resistant plants perform reliably in various growing conditions. Perfect for home gardens where heat-tolerant, productive broccoli is desired.
