Rapini, also known as broccoli rabe, is a leafy green vegetable belonging to the Brassicaceae (mustard) family. It is popular in many cuisines due to its slightly bitter, nutty flavor and nutrient-rich composition. Though its name suggests a relationship to broccoli, rapini is more closely related to turnips. This cool-season vegetable is easy to grow and thrives in both spring and fall gardens. Rapini is a nutritious, fast-growing leafy green that thrives in cool weather and requires minimal maintenance. By following proper planting techniques, providing adequate water, sun, and nutrients, and maintaining a consistent harvesting schedule, gardeners can enjoy a continuous supply of this flavorful vegetable.

How to Plant Rapini from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Spring Planting: Direct sow 2-4 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Fall Planting: Sow seeds 8-10 weeks before the first frost.
  • In mild climates, rapini can be grown year-round.

Preparing for Planting

  1. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
  2. Loosen the soil and mix in compost or organic matter for added nutrients.
  3. Space plants 8-12 inches apart to allow air circulation.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

  1. Plant seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep in moist soil.
  2. Space seeds 2-3 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart.
  3. Cover lightly with soil and gently water.
  4. Germination occurs in 5-10 days.

Thinning Seedlings

  • Once seedlings reach 2-3 inches tall, thin them to 4-6 inches apart.
  • Use the thinned seedlings in salads or sautés.

Pro Tip

Rapini (broccoli rabe) grows best in cool weather, so plant it in early spring or late summer for a flavorful harvest. Keep the soil consistently moist and harvest when the buds are tight—before they flower—for the best taste.

Bonus: Regular picking encourages more tender shoots!
