Description

Clubroot Resistant!

The first cauliflower with Clubroot resistance. Clapton is a versatile late summer to late autumn maturing variety, depending on its sowing time.

Produces excellent flavoured quality, uniform, large, solid and deep white heads.

It has taken over 18 years of conventional breeding to develop a variety that can combat the devastating brassica disease Clubroot and this superb variety is the most resistant we have ever grown on our trials.

Sowing Instructions

Sow late April to June thinly into well raked soil, 1cm (½in) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart. Alternatively, sow seed thinly, 7mm (¼in) deep in pots filled with a free-draining compost, under glass. Lightly cover seed with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Transplant these sowings into 7.5cm (3in) pots and grow on in a cool glasshouse or coldframe until large enough to plant outside.
