Primero Red Cabbage
Primero red cabbage is an early-cycle variety, valued for its round, compact head with a beautiful bright red color tending toward purple. It is a hardy plant, offering good resistance to head splitting, a trait highly appreciated by growers of this type of cabbage.
The Primero red cabbage Plant
Botanically it is a Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. rubra, part of the Brassicaceae family. The leaves, very enveloping and smooth, form a compact spherical head that can reach 1.2-2 kg in weight.
It is an early variety, maturing in spring sowings at about 65-70 days after transplanting, and in summer sowings at about 70-75 days.
How to Sow Primero red cabbage
Sowing takes place in the winter months, January and February, in a seedbed, with subsequent transplanting from April onward, first under cover and then in the open field. Seeds should be buried about 0.5-1 cm deep, spacing plants at least 40-50 cm apart along the row and 50-60 cm between rows.
How to Grow Primero red cabbage
This variety is fairly demanding and requires deep, cool, well-aerated soil with a neutral pH, to be fertilized generously with well-rotted manure or pelleted manure. It loves cold, winter climates, but also sunlight, best sheltered on the hottest and most sultry days.
Harvest usually takes place 65 to 75 days after transplanting, once the head has reached a bright red color and a very compact texture.
Tips for Growing Primero red cabbage
Before sowing it is essential to break up the soil and hoe it deeply, adding well-rotted manure and removing all residues from previous crops. It is useful to know that this variety may slightly change its color shade depending on the soil pH it grows in.
Diseases and Pests of Primero red cabbage
Main issues include root flies, which can be managed with collars around the plant stem, and caterpillars, which can be limited with protective netting or manual removal. Also worth monitoring are leaf beetles, snails, slugs and clubroot, among the most dangerous diseases for this species.
Properties of Primero red cabbage
The leaves of this cabbage are rich in minerals, fiber, iron and vitamins A, C, B1 and B2. It boasts anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and detoxifying properties, and is traditionally associated with immune system support and blood pressure regulation.
