Handy Tip: Regular watering around the roots and not on the foliage is essential, especially 7-10 days before maturity.

This variety features large, well-wrapped heads, making it perfect for overwintering outside or under cloches for an early spring crop. Enjoy fresh, crisp salad greens with outstanding winter hardiness, ideal for any garden.
Handy Tip: Watch out for bird and slug damage in the spring, as young leaves are a tempting meal for wildlife at that time of year.
