Cultivation method:

Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, at a temperature of 18 to 21C for rapid germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 50 cm apart in the row and between rows to allow for large heads to develop. Prepare rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0 to 6.8) and fertilize regularly for dense, tasty heads.

Water evenly throughout the crop to avoid water stress and maintain even growth. Harvest young cabbages for individual servings, or allow them to reach their maximum size of 2.5 to 3 kg for a larger harvest.

Winter cabbage ‘Klimaro Rouge F1’ keeps well after harvest, making it an excellent option for winter. Its intense red color and balanced taste make it a favorite choice for soups, preserves and coleslaws.
