How to grow Chinese cabbage 'Hilton'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Hilton likes a position of full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Hilton is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Hilton needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.1 to 7.8 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Hilton from seed

Ensure a distance of 9.75 inches (25.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.39 inches (1.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Hilton about 14 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Hilton

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Hilton is a tender plant.
