About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You especially take ‚Clapton’ when your soil is burdened with cabbage root rot, because it is highly resistant to this fungus. It grows vigorously and forms firm, evenly white heads for late summer harvest. The leaves cover the flower well, so it stays clean white, even when other varieties such as ‚Erfurter Zwerg’ long give up on stressed soil.
Mild and fine, without an overpowering cabbage note. Good for steaming, baking, or raw in salad.
