Cabbage 'Stonehead'

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Stonehead is thought of as hardy, 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). A soil ph of between 6.0 and 7.5 is ideal for Stonehead as it does best in 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). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 4°C / 39°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Stonehead about 21 days before your last frost date.

As Stonehead is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Stonehead about 21 days before your last frost date.
