The flowering of broccoli is in late spring and early summer, generally from April to June. The flowering period lasts from the withering of other flowers in spring to summer, and can last for more than months. The flowers of Jindai will bear fruit in October.
The flowering of broccoli can be described as brilliant. When the flowers are blooming, they are solitary or clustered. They grow intensively. A cluster of branches are covered with colorful flowers, just like a ribbon. Corolla purplish red or rose red, 3-4 cm long, funnel-shaped. According to the varieties, there are also white flowers and red flowers. Some varieties will change color when they bloom.
After flowering, the flower will bear fruit, the fruit is smaller, and there are seeds after ripening. The seeds are wingless and small and can be used for sowing and propagation.
In order to make the flowers bloom more, we should do a good job of pruning the flowers. We should neither do not prune for a long time nor over prune them.
If we allow the natural growth of broccoli and do not prune for a long time, the plants of broccoli will be too dense and grow poorly, resulting in the reduction of flower amount. If too much pruning, cutting off a large number of branches, will also lead to a large reduction in the amount of flowers. Pruning can be carried out after flowering, and light pruning can be carried out in the rest of the time. As far as broccoli is concerned, there is only one thing to pay attention to. If broccoli does not need to be seeded and propagated, it is necessary to cut off the remaining branches in time after flowering, so as not to consume too much nutrients and affect its growth. The old branches that have been in bloom for more than 3 years can also be cut off.
