Cabbage 'Bartolo'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Bartolo is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Bartolo needs a soil ph of 6.0 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil).

Aim to sow 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 3.12 inches (8.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 4°C / 39°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Bartolo about 45 days before your last frost date.

Bartolo is hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
