Description:

Has good winter survival and produces quite leafy plants which protect the heads well until just before maturity. The beautiful deep, round, white heads are excellent as a hot vegetable and delicious raw.

Sowing Instructions:
Sow indoors during mid to late spring 1.5mm (1/16in) deep in a good compost. Germination usually takes 4-10 days at 21-24C (70-75F). Alternatively, an outdoor sowing can be made in mid spring (Mid April to May) in drills 1cm (½in) deep, spaced 30cm (12in) apart and the seedlings transplanted to their final quarters when they have 5-6 leaves.
Growing Instructions:
Transplant when large enough to handle into boxes and grow on in cooler conditions. Harden off and plant out 60x60cm (24x24in) apart in a rich, well cultivated, moisture retentive soil. Always transplant firmly and water the plants well in during dry weather.
