About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A modern F1 hybrid valued above all for its high resistance to clubroot, the root disease that makes many brassica beds in the garden unusable. If you want to grow cabbage again on infected ground, this variety is often the rescue. The firm, round heads store well and are versatile in the kitchen. Being a hybrid, it is bought fresh each year rather than saved and resown.
Mild and juicy with a fine leaf structure, equally suited to salad, cooking and pickling.
