Broccoli plants can take a long time to form florets and they are a cold weather crop. The plants don't like the heat. Most varieties take 60 to 70 days to grow a head and the plants may be as tall as 3 feet. It's better to leave the leaves on the plant and not cut them off. If by a chance you don't get florets on your plant you can eat the broccoli leaves. Try planting broccoli in late summer for a fall harvest.
