CABBAGE-WONG BOK is a versatile vegetable, it adds crunch to salads, especially coleslaw, flavor to stir-fries & is a useful steamed vegetable. It has a milder, sweeter flavor than the more usual cabbage. Large barrel-shaped type, the heads have pale green crinkled leaves. Ready in as little as 60-65 days from sowing. Very reliable, particularly in hot weather when it is highly resistant to running to seed.
Direct sow in spring/summer. Lightly cover with soil & pat down. All cabbages like fertile soil &steady moisture.
