€4.35
Cabbage Marques F1 is a high-quality hybrid variety from Thompson & Morgan, prized for its versatility, reliability, and superb flavour. This pointed cabbage produces compact, conical heads with smooth, dark green leaves that are tender and sweet. Its crisp texture and mild taste make it perfect for a variety of dishes, including salads, stir-fries, and steaming.
Ideal for both spring and summer cropping, Marques F1 is a fast-maturing variety with excellent disease resistance. Its compact habit makes it suitable for small gardens, raised beds, and even containers, while its uniform heads ensure consistent, high-yield harvests.
Sowing Instructions:
Sow Cabbage Marques F1 seeds indoors from February to April for spring planting or directly outdoors from March to May. For indoor sowing, use seed trays or modules filled with seed compost, sowing seeds 1 cm deep. Keep the trays in a warm spot at 15-20°C and water lightly. Germination usually occurs within 7-10 days.
Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or their final position outdoors. For direct sowing, prepare the soil by enriching it with well-rotted manure or compost. Sow seeds thinly in rows 30 cm apart and thin the seedlings to leave 40 cm between plants as they grow.
Growing Tips:
Plant in a sunny, sheltered location with fertile, well-drained soil. Regular watering is essential to ensure steady growth and prevent splitting. Apply a high-nitrogen fertiliser to support leaf production, and mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvesting:
Marques F1 is ready to harvest in as little as 75-85 days from planting, depending on sowing time. Harvest when the heads feel firm and well-filled, cutting them at the base with a sharp knife. Picking promptly will encourage a longer harvest window and ensure the best flavour.
This versatile, fast-growing cabbage is a reliable choice for gardeners looking for a high-yield crop of tender, delicious leaves. Whether in salads or cooked dishes, Cabbage Marques F1 is a kitchen garden essential.
