About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A dependable open pollinated variety for the home garden that forms medium sized, firm and evenly domed heads. After the main head is cut, Limba busily produces side shoots, so you can harvest over several weeks. Sow indoors from March or April and set the young plants out in the bed from May. Because it is open pollinated, you can save your own seed.
Mild and slightly sweet, with tender florets. Even briefly blanched it makes a fine, deep green vegetable.
