Cabbage 'Sennen' is a wonderful spring cabbage. This is a new frost-hardy ball head cabbage that is the earliest cropping Primo-type, especially if given a little fleece protection during the harshest weather.

Cabbage 'Sennen' is particularly sweet and crisp making it perfect for salads or coleslaw.

So sweet the pigeons find it delectable too, but with our protective fleece you'll be able to save the sweet crop for yourself.

Add 'Sennen' to sandwiches as a tasty equivalent to salad leaves, or as a convenient gluten-free equivalent to a tortilla wrap with tasty fillings.

Your plants on arrival

Your plants will arrive to you in a plastic blister pack which provides the perfect humid environment for young cabbage plants while being delivered to your home.

Remove all outer packaging and remove the plants from the plastic blister pack. Water the plugs of soil so they are moist but not waterlogged.

Try to plant up straight away in your vegetable patch, into rich soil pressing the plugs into the soil firmly. Space plants 25-30cm (10-12in) apart and cover with fleece to keep pigeons from eating the sweet, succulent leaves.

Water young plants daily morning or evening, or both in particularly dry and/or warm weather.
