Sowing Instructions:
For the best results, sow Cabbage Pretino F1 seeds indoors from late winter to early summer. Use seed trays or modules filled with fine seed compost, sowing seeds 1 cm deep. Keep the compost moist and place in a warm spot at 15-20°C for germination. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or directly into the garden once the risk of frost has passed.
Alternatively, sow seeds directly outdoors in spring in a sunny, well-drained location. Prepare the soil by enriching it with compost or organic matter, then sow seeds thinly in rows, spacing them about 30 cm apart. Thin seedlings as they grow, leaving 40 cm between plants to allow space for the heads to develop.
Harvest Cabbage Pretino F1 in as little as 65-75 days after planting, when the heads are firm and fully developed. The vibrant purple colour will add a burst of colour to your garden and your plate, making it both a visual and culinary delight. This compact, fast-growing variety is perfect for gardeners looking to grow a show-stopping yet practical crop.
