Overview

A fast-growing variety that hearts up really quickly, giving a summer harvest of sweet-tasting, crunchy greens with a classic pointed head. 'Caraflex' is an improved 'Hispi' type with larger heads and the ability to stand for longer. As a bonus, it can be grown under a cloche or tunnel during the winter months in order to gain an early crop in the spring. Growing instructions: Early sowings, from January, can be made into pots or seed trays under glass at 55°F (13°C). Germination takes 1-2 weeks. Pot on as the seedlings grow and gradually harden off before planting out, spacing plants 40-45cm (16-18'') apart between plants and 45-60cm (18-24'') between the rows. Alternatively, sow later in spring into shallow drills in a well-prepared seedbed, thinning seedlings to 10cm (4'') apart. When plants reach 15cm tall, transplant to where they are to grow, spacing as detailed above and firming in well. Can also be sown in October for overwintering (with some protection) and an earlier crop the following spring. Protect from slugs and net against pigeons. Sow: January to June or October Harvest: June to September
