Chinese cabbage - Hilton - 10 g - Resilient, dependable growth - Fresh Seeds

The Hilton Chinese cabbage is an early variety recommended for autumn harvest, valued particularly as an aftercrop. It forms elongated, cylindrical heads weighing up to approximately 1 kg. The outer leaves are light green, while the interior of the head is pleasantly pale yellow. This variety distinguishes itself with a mild, fresh taste, attractive appearance, and high nutritional value. It works perfectly raw in salads and slaws, as well as after boiling or fermenting.

Sowing

Cultivation is possible from seedlings or by sowing directly into the ground. Sowing is carried out in summer on well-cultivated, moist soil with access to light. Regular watering and careful maintenance of seedlings favour even emergence and the development of strong plants.

Sowing depth

Place seeds at a depth of about 0.5 cm. Shallow sowing facilitates rapid germination and protects the seeds from drying out.

Sowing time for direct sowing

The optimal time for sowing into the ground falls in July. It is worth adjusting the date to weather conditions and soil moisture levels to ensure the plants have a good start.

Sowing time under cover

Sowing under cover is carried out in July. Cultivation in controlled conditions makes it easier to obtain uniform seedlings for further management in the ground.

Planting time

Plant out seedlings best in the second half of August. Seedlings should have 4-5 well-developed leaves and be hardened off before transplanting.

Spacing

The recommended spacing is 30-40 x 30-40 cm. Maintaining appropriate distances improves air circulation within the crop, facilitates maintenance, and encourages the formation of fine heads.

Site

Plants grow best in a sunny or slightly shaded position, in fertile, humus-rich, permeable soil maintained in constant, moderate moisture. Regular watering during rainless periods supports even growth and head formation.

Harvest time

Harvests are carried out in September and October. Collect heads before the arrival of frosts, when they are compact, firm, and fully developed.

Usage

Hilton Chinese cabbage tastes excellent raw as a base for slaws and salads. It also works great after boiling, stewing, and in a fermented form, remaining a digestible and nutritionally valuable vegetable.
