& Kalettes Garden Mix F1 1 Seed Packet

These 'Kalettes' were introduced after 15 years of British breeding! A mixture between Kale and Brussels Sprouts which has resulted in rosette crops, each with frilly edges, coloured green and purple with deeply coloured veins. They taste more like spring greens than Brussels Sprouts which makes them an ideal alternative for those who dislike sprouts! They are easy to grow and easy to pick, perfect for adding to stir fries or serving steamed with other winter greens. Sow seeds from April to early June. Sow seeds thinly in a well prepared seed bed, 12mm (1/2") deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart. Transplant when large enough to handle, about 5 weeks from sowing, to 50cm (20in) between plants each way. Plant firmly and keep well watered until established. Prefers a well drained, moist, rich soil. Fleece against caterpillar and aphid as necessary, and net against pigeons during the winter.
