Listed by Vilmorin as early as 1867, this old variety was historically cultivated around Rennes and other parts of western France, where its tolerance of cool, maritime conditions made it a dependable market and home garden cabbage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tender leaves have an excellent flavour and can be harvested individually while the plant continues to grow, or allowed to develop into a complete pointed head. Its fine texture makes it particularly good for fresh salads and slaws as well as steaming, braising, soups and other cooked dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn early and cold-tolerant variety, Bacalan de Rennes performs best through the cooler growing months in full sun with rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Keep plants consistently watered during head development for tender leaves and well-formed heads.
