Description
Grow your own fresh crops of homegrown cabbages in the garden! Spring Cabbage ‘Hero’ FI is the first introduction of a 'semi round', ballhead variety. These plants have good frost hardiness, forming solid heads from late April through to May, which remain firm over several weeks. This delicious cabbage variety can also be sown in spring for summer-maturing heads. Companion planting: try growing cabbages with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles.Sow spring cabbage indoors seed from March to May for Summer harvesting or July to August to overwinter for a spring harvest. Alternatively direct sow outdoors into a well-prepared seedbed, for transplanting to their final positions later on. Sow at a depth of 13mm (1/2") and distance of 23cm (9") between rows. Indoors, sow seed at a depth of 12mm (1/2") in trays of free-draining, seed sowing compost and cover with a layer of vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until germination which takes 4 -7 days. Once germinated, grow Cabbage plants on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and plants are large enough to be transplanted with 2-3 true leaves.Product specifications:Position: Full SunHeight: Up to 30cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 40cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1x packet Cabbage 'Hero' F1 (approx. 35 seeds)Harvest/ period: April to MayDelivered with growing and care instructionsImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
