BUYERS NOTES
British breeding especially for summer and autumn cropping as needs no vernalisation (winter chill) to produce tasty purple spears. Robust plants will produce high yields if picked regularly to promote fresh flushes of spears. Good heat tolerance.
Sowing Information:
Sow thinly 6mm (¬ºin) deep in a seed tray of good quality seed compost and lightly cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite. Place tray in a propagator at 20-25°C (68-77°F) until after germination which usually takes 4-7 days. Transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots and grow on until plants have 2-3 true leaves. Alternatively, seed can be sown thinly in a well-prepared seedbed, 12mm (¬Ωin) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart.
Growing Information:
Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle, about 5 weeks from sowing, allowing a minimum of 75cm (30in) between plants in the row and 75cm (30in) between rows. Firm in well and keep watered until established. Use netting to protect against pigeons and cabbage caterpillar.
