Cabbage Kalibos

Kalibos is a striking East European heirloom, recently introduced to the UK and already turning heads. Its unique pointed red hearts are not only beautiful but also sweet and crisp—making it a perfect choice for fresh salads and homemade coleslaw.

A real standout in both the garden and the kitchen.

SOW: at 10mm seed during April/May in modules or pots. Cabbages can also be sown in a seed bed.

GROW: plant out about 5/6 weeks after sowing. Changing the spacing between the plants will give you different sized cabbages. Close spacing will give you smaller heads and ‘greens’. Cut the cabbages as you need them.

ENJOY: the perfect choice for salads. Kalibos is a pointed cabbage with distinctive red leaves; it looks and tastes fantastic in homemade coleslaw. You can let it form hearts or cut early as ‘greens’ with a second flush of growth to follow.
