Description

Sow this latest clubroot resistant hybrid variety in the spring for an autumn harvest. Excellent standing ability, good vigour and a wonderful flavour make Crispus a ‘must’ for the kitchen garden or allotment. Smooth, dark green buttons hold the stalk well and in good condition. Sow February to March. Harvest September to October.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds into individual pots or a seed tray of a proprietary compost and cover with 6mm (1/4in) of compost or vermiculite, at a minimum of 15C ( 60F), until germination which takes around 7 days. Alternatively, can be sown thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (1/2 in) deep, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.

Growing Instructions

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into larger pots, or transplant from the seedbed around 5 weeks from sowing, allowing 60-90cm (24-36in) each way. Plant firmly to obtain best quality sprout buttons.
