A spring cabbage with a huge advantage! Unlike many varieties, Cabbage 'April' can withstand the tendency to bolt (run to seed) which plagues other varieties of autumn-sown spring cabbage. This superb variety is also ideal when space is at a premium as it can be sown in rows as close as 20cm (10") apart. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 40cm (16").

Companion planting: Try growing cabbages with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles.
