About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A hardy, open pollinated overwintering variety from the Dutch Walcheren group, which you sow in early summer and plant into the winter bed. The sturdy plants come through mild winters outdoors and only push out their white heads in early spring, when fresh vegetables are otherwise scarce. Choose a sheltered spot and cover the curd during hard frost.

Mild with a robust note, the kind that develops after cool weeks. Good steamed or in the first soup of spring.
