This pack gives you 12 young plants, growing in 2 plastic 6-cell trays with one plant to each cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDutchman (Brassica oleracea) is an upright, compact brassica with broad blue-green outer leaves wrapped around a tight head. It suits raised beds, vegetable patches, kitchen gardens and larger containers, and is cut from summer through to autumn depending on when it is planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plants arrive ready to transplant, so there is no seed sowing to do. Plant into fertile, firm, well-drained soil that holds some moisture, in full sun, spacing plants 45-50cm apart. Water regularly, especially in dry spells, and feed with a balanced fertiliser to encourage strong, dense heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all brassicas, cabbages need protecting from cabbage white butterflies and pigeons, so cover them with fine mesh netting. A collar around the stem helps against cabbage root fly, and avoid planting where other brassicas have grown recently, to reduce the risk of club root.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brassica oleracea Capitata Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabbage 'Dutchman'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 30-45cm tall and 40-50cm wide (variety dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, compact brassica forming solid, dense heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allotments, raised beds, vegetable patches, kitchen gardens and large containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue-green, broad outer leaves around a tight, dense head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertile, firm, moist but well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvest from summer to autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KOKE House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061544636682,"sku":"COL-M6P-CAB-DUTX1","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2479\/8218\/files\/3_e08f4225-eaa3-4cae-ad9c-9b7ac11e55d6.png?v=1793895419","url":"https:\/\/kokehouse.co.uk\/products\/col-m6p-cab-dutx1","provider":"KOKE House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
