{"product_id":"col-m6p-cab-red-jewx1","title":"Cabbage 'Red Jewel' (Brassica oleracea) – Red Cabbage Vegetable Plants (12 Plants in 2 x 6-Cell Trays)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRed Jewel is a compact red cabbage that grows firm, round, deep burgundy-red heads, ideal for growing your own in a raised bed, vegetable patch or allotment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heads are densely packed and hold well in the garden without splitting, and they keep well once cut. Red cabbage is delicious raw in salads, pickled, braised or cooked. Red Jewel suits growers of all experience levels and performs reliably in UK conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 young plants, growing in 2 trays of 6 cells, one plant to a cell. Plant them out in a sunny spot in firm, fertile, moist but well-drained soil, spacing them about 45-50cm apart each way and firming the soil around the base of each plant. Harden them off first if they have been kept under cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil evenly moist, especially in dry spells, and feed regularly with a balanced fertiliser to help the heads develop. Protect the plants with fine mesh netting against caterpillars, cabbage white butterflies and pigeons, and do not plant them where other brassicas grew recently, to reduce the risk of clubroot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Jewel Cabbage, Red Cabbage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brassica oleracea Capitata Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 30-45cm tall and 30-45cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact and upright, forming a dense rounded head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable beds, raised beds, allotments and kitchen gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep burgundy-red, broad, waxy leaves\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\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular watering and feeding, with netting against pests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvest from autumn into early winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable, Brassica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68017148625116,"sku":"COL-M6P-CAB-RED-JEWX1","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_c9aadd90-c581-4e9c-9c9a-48edd7a30026.png?v=1793631799","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/col-m6p-cab-red-jewx1","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
