The colour intensifies as temperatures fall, making this an especially striking variety for the winter vegetable garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tender, textured leaves have an excellent sweet, mild flavour and can be enjoyed finely shredded in salads and slaws or used for steaming, braising, roasting, soups and stuffed cabbage dishes. The lightly savoyed leaves are tender enough for fresh use while still holding their texture particularly well when cooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hardy cool-season variety, Verona Purple performs best in full sun with rich, fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Cool conditions not only enhance its colouring but also help develop its sweet flavour. Mature heads store well after harvest, making it a useful variety for extending the home-grown cabbage season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 120 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Late summer to winter\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Late summer to winter and early spring\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep.
