Cabbage 'Stonehead F1' is a dependable hybrid variety prized for its compact and dense heads that resist splitting, making it an excellent choice for both fresh use and long-term storage. This variety is well-suited for UK gardens, offering reliable growth and high-quality yields with a firm texture and sweet, mild flavour. 'Stonehead F1' is perfect for gardeners looking for a cabbage that performs well in variable conditions while providing consistent results. Start sowing seeds indoors from March to May, or sow directly outdoors in a well-prepared seedbed. Space seeds about 1cm apart and cover lightly with soil. Once seedlings have developed 5-6 true leaves, they are ready to be transplanted outdoors, ensuring a spacing of 45cm between plants. Choose a sunny, sheltered location with fertile, well-drained soil to give your cabbages the best start. Harvest 'Stonehead F1' from July to October, when the heads are firm and fully formed. Cut the heads at the base, leaving the outer leaves intact to protect the plant. This variety is known for its excellent storage capabilities, allowing you to enjoy fresh cabbage well into the colder months. Regular watering and attention to soil conditions will help ensure a bountiful harvest. Please Note: The image(s) shown are for illustrative purposes only.
