Product Details
Unwins Cabbage Winter Green Seeds are ideal for growing as both loose leaves or cabbage hearts. With a long autumn and winter harvest period, this is a versatile variety that is winter hardy and quick to grow.
Full of nutrients, you can choose to harvest this variety in autumn for loose cabbage leaves. Similar to spring greens, or leave in the ground until winter for more compact cabbages with an established heart.

Sowing Indoors
Sow thinly, 1 cm deep, in clean trays or modules filled with firm, pre-watered compost. Place in warmth (10–15 °C) and keep soil moist at all times.
Growing On / Planting Out
When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings 5 cm apart into trays or individual pots of potting compost. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 2–3 weeks before planting out in their cropping position. Water generously in dry weather.
Sowing Outdoors
Sow thinly in a shallow, pre-watered row. Lightly cover with soil and keep moist until seedlings are established. Thin to 2 cm apart.
Transplanting
When seedlings have about four true leaves, transplant them to their cropping positions. Firm in and keep well watered during dry spells.
Aftercare
Avoid planting in the same soil as other Brassicas the previous year. Cover with protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water thoroughly after planting.
