Superb, deep-red, solid, mini round cabbage heads on compact plants with no wasted outer leaves. Stands well with good quality heads.
Sow March to May in individual pots or a seed tray of a proprietary compost and cover with 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite, at a minimum of 15C (60F), until germination which takes around 7 days. Alternatively, can be sown thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (½in) deep, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows
Eaten raw or cooked, cabbages are an excellent source of Vitamin C. Try to use all healthy outer leaves, as the darkest green leaves contain the most nutrients.
Ideal raw in salads, cooked or pickled.
