About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An old German, open pollinated variety for an early harvest from autumn onwards. The medium tall plants form even, firm sprouts, so you can start picking as early as October without waiting for the first frost. Proven in the home garden and ideal if you want to save your own seed.
Delicately savoury and balanced, without an obtrusive cabbage note. Just as good steamed as finely shaved raw in a winter salad.
