Very hardy, it is only in the coldest areas you may need cloches. You can also grow in a cold greenhouse or coldframe, in milder areas you may be able to enjoy from January!.
SOW: an autumn sowing variety from August to October. In August & September you can direct sow, September & October sow into modules
GROW: plant out when large enough to do so at about 30cm apart. In the coldest areas you may prefer to plant under cloches or in a cold greenhouse or coldframe. Anywhere greenhouse or coldframe crops may give you a first pick from January & are a great way to keep these spaces busy until the spring rush!
ENJOY: leaves from February, hearted butterheads from March to May
