Grow in full sun in firm, fertile soil - including coastal regions. Where possible, avoid growing brassicas in the same soil year on year, to prevent the build up of soil-borne diseases. See cauliflower cultivation for further advice
Propagate by seed. See sowing vegetable seeds or sowing seeds indoors
No pruning required
May be susceptible to flea beetle, cabbage root fly, caterpillars, pigeons and snails, although once plants are established, this damage isn't usually severe. Heavy infestations of mealy cabbage aphid may also spoil the harvest
May be susceptible to brassica downy mildew and brassica white blister. In areas where brassicas have been grown before, club root can build up in the soil
