Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Dense, domed blue-green heads with tightly packed buds make Broccoli 'Marathon' a satisfying crop for the home veggie patch. This cool-weather hybrid develops sturdy stems and broad leaves, so give it room in a sunny bed rather than squeezing it between smaller vegetables. Its generous main head is ideal for steaming, roasting or cutting into florets for stir-fries. In Perth, grow 'Marathon' through the cooler months in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Regular watering and vegetable fertiliser help maintain steady growth, especially in sandy soils, while mulch slows moisture loss. Allow about 60 cm between plants and protect young foliage with insect-exclusion netting to keep cabbage white caterpillars at bay. Harvest the main head with a length of stem while the buds are still tightly closed, before they loosen and flower.
