Easy to grow, 'Dirani' cabbage adapts to a wide range of climates and thrives in full sun in rich, well-drained, slightly moist soils. This variety is resistant to disease and cracking, ensuring abundant and quality harvests.

To start, sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost or directly into the ground when the soil has warmed. Sow 1 cm deep, in rows 60 cm apart. Once the plants are sufficiently developed, transplant them or thin them to maintain a spacing of 40 to 60 cm between each plant.

Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture and apply mulch to reduce weeds and protect roots. Harvest well-formed, firm apples before they become overripe for crisp texture and optimum taste.

The 'Dirani' cabbage is a highly productive and resistant variety, ideal for fresh consumption or for canning. It fits perfectly into diversified vegetable gardens and offers generous harvests, even in varied climatic conditions.
