Cabbage 'Derby Day'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Derby Day is thought of as hardy, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.5 as Derby Day likes to be in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 3.12 inches (8.0 cm) between Cabbage plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 4°C / 39°F to ensure good germination.

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

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