About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The proven classic for winter cooking: an open pollinated, late ripening storage variety with firm, round heads in a deep blue red. Harvest starts in October, and the compact heads keep for many weeks in a cool cellar without splitting. Give it a sunny spot and steady watering, and the vigorous plant will reward you with heavy heads that slice cleanly.
Savoury and spicy with a delicate sweetness that really comes through when braised. The classic base for red cabbage with apple at festive meals.
