Extensive breeding efforts have resulted in a Brassica series with a great appearance, long sturdy stems of at least 80 cm, and a harder leaf structure. Independent research by Royal FloraHolland has shown that the varieties in the Empire series are less sensitive to diseases, have a significantly longer vase life, and that the typical Brassica scent is barely or not present.

With a cultivation period of only 14 to 16 weeks, a high degree of uniformity, and an ideal stem length, Brassica Empire ensures an efficient harvest and an average higher percentage of harvestable product. After harvesting, the vase life of the Empire series is also above average.
