CABBAGE ‘Spring Hero’ F1
Image
Botanical Name
Brassica oleracea (capitata group)
A unique multi-harvest and winter hardy green cabbage. Slow bolting, while all its varietal buddies go to seed and get woody, Spring Hero holds until early summer. The medium ball heads are thin leaved, tender and sweet, so great for salads & slaw. To promote a 2nd harvest cut initial head, keep basal leaves attached to the stalk, keep 1 of the new shoots, which will form another head in about 6 weeks just as tasty & large. 20 seeds.
