Description
A fantastic heritage from the 1800s.

Nero di Toscana produces beautiful dark blue-green leaves with a slightly lighter central vein.

This variety can be used both fresh and cooked.

Fantastic in salads, stews, soups, or oven-roasted.

A slightly more elegant cabbage variety that is lovely even when mixed into a flower bed.

A hardy and robust variety that becomes especially tasty after a few frosty nights. We would like to recommend making soup with Nero di Toscana, poached egg, and shrimps.

A truly delightful dish in the fall and winter!

Care and cultivation advice

Pre-cultivate indoors in seed soil from March to May in planting containers or pots. For the best germination results cover the seeds with transparent covers equipped with air holes, but it's also works without this step. Make sure to lightly water the soil before sowing and then sprinkle some seeds. Before germination, place the sowings at around 20 degrees Celsius, and after germination, provide as much light as possible while keeping them slightly cooler. Depending on the size of the planting container and how crowded the plants are, it may be necessary to plant them in bigger pots as they grow.

Transplant the seedlings after they have been properly hardened off. This variety can also be directly sown in the planting area from April to June, but for the best results, we recommend starting indoors. Use a fabric cloth to protect the plants from pests. The variety thrives best in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil but can tolerate various soil types. It can be harvested from September to December and is at its best after a few frosty nights.
