Growing Information

Direct sowing
Sow about 3 months before your expected fall or winter frost.
Plant spacing
4–6". Wider spacing gives heads too big for cutting.
Soil

Light
Full sun.
Color
Heads start to color once temperatures fall below about 10°C (50°F). Stop feeding when color appears.
Stripping leaves
When plants are 10–12" tall, take off the lower leaves, and repeat 3 or 4 times as they grow, to make long, clean stems.
Support
Plants get top-heavy; horizontal netting keeps them upright.
Harvest
Aim for a well-colored head about 6" across on a 24" stem.
