Sowing instructions

Preparation: Sow thinly in a prepared seed bed between February and May and again September to October under cover for baby leaf. Sow June to August in open ground for mature heads.

Grow and maintenance

Water and nutrition: Keep soil evenly moist to prevent bolting. Avoid waterlogging. Enrich beds beforehand and maintain alkaline conditions if needed.

Protection: Use cloches, fleece, or mesh for early and late sowings, and to deter flea beetle on young plants.

Harvesting: Cut whole heads at the base or pick leaves for cut and come again. Baby leaf can regrow for multiple cuts.

Culinary: Excellent in stir fries, salads, and Oriental dishes with a crisp texture and mild flavour. A good source of vitamin C and K.

Versatility: Suitable for beds, raised beds, and containers. Reliable across a long season due to slow bolting and disease tolerance.
