This variety is specifically bred to combine essential qualities including vigorous, uniform cropping and high quality produce. This autumn harvesting variety also has a very high tolerance to rust. Well worth the extra money!

Sow 3mm (1/8in) deep in good seed sowing compost in March. Germination takes 10-14 days at 13-15C (55-60F).
Growing Instructions:
When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings to boxes and when well grown gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out in late May or early June.
