Brassica oleracea var. capitata
Kalibos is a distinctive red cabbage producing beautiful pointed heads with deep burgundy-purple leaves. Combining the elegant shape of a pointed cabbage with the rich colour of a traditional red cabbage, it forms relatively small, compact heads that are particularly well suited to smaller gardens.
The crisp leaves are exceptionally sweet and tender, making Kalibos excellent finely shredded into salads and coleslaw. It is equally delicious lightly steamed, sautéed, braised, roasted or fermented, with the striking purple-red foliage adding colour to both fresh and cooked dishes.
Hardy and adaptable, Kalibos performs reliably even in relatively poor soils and challenging growing conditions, although the best heads will develop in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Its compact size allows closer spacing than many larger cabbage varieties.
Approximately 50 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Late summer to winter
Mild climates: Late summer to winter and early spring
Cold climates: Spring to summer
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep. Keep consistently moist during germination and establishment.
Transplant or thin seedlings to approximately 35–45 cm apart in full sun and well-drained soil. Maintain regular moisture while heads are developing and harvest once heads are firm and well formed.
If saving seed, remember that cabbage will cross-pollinate readily with other compatible Brassica oleracea varieties, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.

Brassica oleracea var. botrytis
Alpha is an early, quick-growing Cauliflower producing small, dense white heads of excellent quality. The tightly formed curds have a fine texture and mild flavour, with plants maturing in approximately 68 days. Its relatively compact size and quick growth make Alpha particularly useful for smaller gardens and successive plantings.
Cauliflower has been cultivated in the Mediterranean for centuries and became particularly associated with Italy before spreading throughout Europe. Mark Twain famously described it as “cabbage with a college education”, an apt description for this somewhat refined member of the Brassica oleracea family.
The firm white heads have a mild, slightly sweet flavour and are exceptionally versatile in the kitchen. Enjoy raw, steamed, roasted, grilled, pickled, mashed, added to curries and soups or baked whole. The leaves and tender stems are also edible and need not be discarded.
Alpha performs best when its main head development occurs during cooler weather. In much of Australia, successive sowings beginning in late summer can provide an extended harvest through the cooler months. Plants prefer full sun, fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture.
Approximately 90 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations
Subtropics: Late summer to autumn
Mild climates: Late summer to autumn, with successive sowings into the cooler months
Cold climates: Spring to early summer
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep. Keep consistently moist during germination and establishment.
Transplant or thin seedlings to approximately 40–50 cm apart in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Maintain consistent moisture throughout growth, as water stress can affect head development.
As white heads begin to form, loosely fold or tie the surrounding leaves over the curd to protect it from strong sunlight and help maintain its white colour. Harvest while heads are firm, compact and tightly formed.
If saving seed, remember that Cauliflower will cross-pollinate readily with other compatible Brassica oleracea varieties, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.
Maturity: approximately 68 days.

Cucurbita pepo
Delicata is a much-loved heirloom winter squash producing attractive oblong fruits approximately 20 cm long and 7 cm wide. The creamy skin is patterned with distinctive dark green longitudinal stripes and flecks, while inside is sweet, golden flesh with a smooth, rich texture.
The flavour is notably sweet and often described as somewhere between pumpkin and sweet potato, with a slightly nutty quality. Its convenient individual size makes Delicata particularly good for roasting and stuffing. Simply halve the fruit, remove the seeds and bake, or fill with grains, vegetables, herbs, cheese or meat. The flesh is also excellent in soups, curries and warm salads.
One of Delicata's great culinary advantages is its edible skin. When cooked, the relatively thin rind becomes tender enough to eat, so there is generally no need to peel the fruit before roasting.
Delicata is an American heirloom dating to the late 19th century and was commercially introduced in the United States in the 1890s. After declining in popularity for a period, it enjoyed a resurgence as gardeners and cooks rediscovered its exceptional flavour, manageable fruit size and distinctive appearance.
Although commonly grouped with pumpkins and winter squash, Delicata belongs to Cucurbita pepo, the same species that includes zucchini, many summer squashes and numerous ornamental gourds.
Approximately 15 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: During the warm season, avoiding the wettest periods where disease pressure is high
Subtropics: Spring to summer
Mild climates: Spring to early summer after frost
Cold climates: Spring after all danger of frost; start indoors where the growing season is short
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 20–30 mm deep directly into warm, prepared soil after all danger of frost has passed, or raise seedlings for transplanting once conditions are reliably warm.
Grow in full sun in rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Allow approximately 1–1.5 m between plants and provide room for the vines to spread.
Keep plants consistently watered during active growth, flowering and fruit development. Water deeply at soil level where possible rather than regularly wetting the foliage.
Harvest when the cream-coloured skin has developed its characteristic dark green markings, the rind has hardened and the stem begins to dry. Cut fruits from the vine with a section of stem attached.
Allow mature fruit to cure in a warm, dry, well-ventilated position before storing. Delicata can be stored after harvest, although its thinner skin means it generally does not keep as long as the hardest-skinned winter pumpkins.
Maturity: approximately 100 days.

Layia platyglossa
Tidy Tips is a cheerful annual wildflower producing bright golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers characteristically tipped in crisp white. Native to California, where it grows naturally through dry coastal habitats, meadows and grasslands, the distinctive two-toned blooms create a wonderfully fresh display through spring.
A member of the Asteraceae family, Tidy Tips is excellent for wildflower gardens, cottage plantings, borders and mass sowing. The open flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects and combine beautifully with other annual wildflowers for a naturalistic meadow effect.
Easy to grow and well adapted to relatively dry conditions, plants prefer full sun and free-draining soil. Avoid overly rich soil or excessive fertiliser, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.

Cucurbita pepo
Golden is a productive bush zucchini producing bright golden-yellow fruits with a medium-long, cylindrical shape. The flesh is tender with a mild, pleasant flavour, and the vivid skin provides a colourful alternative to traditional dark green zucchini.
Harvest the fruits young for the finest texture and flavour. Golden zucchini is excellent grilled, roasted, sautéed or added to stir-fries, soups and fritters, and young fruits can also be sliced or grated raw into salads.
Plants have a compact, bushy habit and begin producing early, with regular harvesting encouraging continued fruit set. The bright fruits are easy to spot beneath the foliage, making them particularly convenient to harvest before they become oversized.
Seed count: approximately 8–10 seeds per gram. Approximately 20 seeds per packet.

Achillea millefolium
Cerise Queen is a colourful ornamental Yarrow producing broad, flattened clusters of flowers in shades ranging from soft pink through to rich cerise and cherry-red. Growing to approximately 40 cm tall, the flowering stems rise above finely divided, fern-like foliage and provide colour over a long flowering season.
Hardy and wonderfully useful in the garden, Cerise Queen has a clumping, gradually spreading habit and is highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. The strong stems and long-lasting flowers also have an excellent vase life, making this a valuable addition to cutting gardens, cottage plantings and perennial borders.
Exceptionally tolerant of heat and dry conditions once established, Yarrow performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular picking or deadheading encourages further flowering, while established clumps can be divided periodically to control their spread.
Cerise Queen is an ornamental selection of Achillea millefolium. While the species has a long and important history as a medicinal herb, particularly for its traditional use in wound care, fevers, circulation and the digestive system, the white-flowered wild type is generally preferred for herbal preparations. Cerise Queen is primarily grown for its richly coloured flowers and ornamental value.

Lactuca sativa
Parris Island Cos is a classic Romaine-type Lettuce producing tall, upright heads of dark green leaves surrounding a crisp, creamy-white heart. The leaves are slightly savoyed, giving them an attractive texture, while plants are vigorous, uniform and reliable in the garden.
Developed in the United States in the early 1950s, Parris Island Cos was named after Parris Island off the coast of South Carolina. It became a widely grown Cos variety thanks to its combination of excellent eating quality, uniform growth and useful disease resistance.
The substantial leaves are crisp, sweet and succulent with the pronounced central ribs characteristic of Cos lettuce. They are particularly good for Caesar salads, where their sturdy texture holds dressing beautifully, as well as in sandwiches, wraps and fresh salads. The tender inner heart is especially sweet and crunchy.
Lettuce is one of the world’s oldest cultivated salad vegetables, grown for thousands of years and spreading through the ancient Mediterranean world. Cos or Romaine lettuces are distinguished by their elongated upright growth, substantial midribs and crisp leaves.
Parris Island Cos prefers fertile, well-drained soil with a near-neutral pH and consistent moisture. Some afternoon shade can help maintain tender growth and delay bolting as temperatures increase.
