This very hardy vegetable is grown as an annual. The edible head is large (up to 1.5kg), terminal bud composed of tightly packed, overlapping leaves, forming a pointed head. The leaves are green in colour and smooth in texture.
Adaptable to a wide range of climates but best as a cool weather crop. It is frost tolerant but not to extremes of heat, which causes the heads to split. Prefers a sunny position with well drained soil that has been made fertile with rotting manure and compost.
Easy to grow from seed.
