Calabrese Kabuki F1
We selected Kabuki for its versatility and flavour. It can be used to produce baby heads and reaches maturity after just 9-10 weeks. At half the height of other Calabrese it is very useful in a small garden and suitable for growing under cloches or fleece for an early crop. Kabuki will see you throughout the whole season with successional planting. Sow March to June, earlier if grown under cloches. Price for 20 seeds

Calabrese Marathon F1
This lovely calabrese has mid sized, attractive blue/green, fine grained heads. Being an adaptable type it tolerates the cold well, making it a good choice for more northern gardeners and is suited to early or late sowings. This means it can be sown from March through to June as an early or July/August for a later crop allowing about 10-15 weeks growing time. Price for 20 seeds
