Brassica oleracea

First introduced to gardeners sometime around 1850, this beautiful looking, late maturing cabbage produces a large head that tends to be somewhat flatter than other varieties. The head can grow up to 30 cm (12") across and weigh in at a stunning 5.4 kg (12 lbs)! This is an excellent cabbage for winter storage.

How to Grow

Sow seed indoors in a soil-less mix 5 weeks before last frost date. Sow seed 6 mm (1/4") deep and keep at 20 C (70 F) for the 7-10 day germination period. Grow on at a slightly cooler temperature then harden off and plant outside in late May. Space plants 45 cm (18") apart in rows with the rows 75 cm (30") apart.
