Red Cabbage - Mars - Rich flavour, good nutritional value - Fresh Seeds

The Mars red cabbage is a variety that impresses with its intense colour, excellent flavour and high productivity. It forms compact, round heads with a beautiful, deep red-purple hue that looks exceptionally appetising both in the vegetable patch and on the plate. This cabbage is suitable for those who value both taste and health benefits. It is characterised by a delicate, slightly sweet flavour and a high content of vitamins and antioxidants. Thanks to its resistance to splitting and good durability after harvesting, it is ideal for fresh consumption as well as for processing. It works perfectly in salads, stuffed cabbage rolls and juices. This is an easy-to-grow variety that thrives in our climate.

Sowing depth

Sow seeds at a depth of 1-2 cm. This layer of soil ensures adequate moisture and even emergence, while young plants will be strong and healthy from the very beginning of the vegetation period.

Sowing time in the ground

Perform direct sowing into the ground from March to May. Sunny positions with fertile, humus-rich and consistently slightly moist soil are best. Thanks to early sowing, you will obtain strong plants that produce magnificent heads in the second half of summer. Regular watering and loosening of the substrate will help maintain optimal growth conditions.

Sowing time under cover

If you wish to accelerate vegetation, sow seeds from March to May under covers, such as in a foil tunnel, greenhouse or on a windowsill. Early preparation of seedlings allows you to enjoy the harvest faster than with traditional sowing in the ground. Young seedlings will strengthen before transplanting and cope better after being planted in their permanent location.

Planting time

Plant Mars cabbage seedlings in their permanent site from May to June, once the risk of frost has passed. Remember to harden off the plants before planting by gradually taking them outside to accustom them to natural conditions. This ensures they establish faster and become resilient to changing temperatures.

Spacing

Maintain a spacing of 50 x 50 cm. This is the ideal distance that allows each plant to grow freely and develop large, magnificent heads. Planting too densely limits development, so it is worth ensuring adequate space.

Harvest time

Harvests of Mars red cabbage take place from July to October. During this period, the heads reach optimal size, firmness and juiciness, and their colour becomes most intense. When harvested at the right moment, they retain freshness, taste and nutritional values for a long time.

Cultivation

Mars cabbage grows best in sunny positions and in heavier soil rich in calcium and humus. Excellent results are obtained by cultivation on soil enriched with well-decomposed compost or manure. During periods of drought, regular watering is necessary, as cabbage does not tolerate drying out well. During growth, it is also worth systematically weeding the beds and loosening the substrate, which prevents weed infestation and promotes root system development. In a cool spring, it is worth starting cultivation from seedlings for a more certain and earlier harvest.
