Excellent flavoured, well domed, small beaded heads of good colour. Keeps in good condition for a long time, producing plenty of side shoots once the centre head is cut. Plant in succession for summer-autumn harvesting.

Sow April to June. Sow thinly in a well prepared seedbed, 1cm (½in) deep, successionally.

Plant out when large enough to handle allowing 38cm (15in) apart each way.

Prefers moist, rich, well drained soil. Harvest June to October.

The main head is ideal for boiling and serving with a white sauce, while the side florets are perfect for stir fries.
