Direct sow when daytime soil temperatures warm to 75˚F. Cool weather crop, optimally brown between 60–70˚F. For mild winters where tamps are rarely below 32˚F, transplant September to February.

At a very young stage the stems have a violet color and green leaves. When grown to full maturity it is a small, compact, short-stemmed heading plant that produces hard, round, deep red-purple heads, 5 to 7 inches in diameter. These heads weigh from 2 to 4 pounds. Resistant to Yellows and splitting. Heads are solid in early stages and have good uniform color.
