Primo Vantage Care
Plant seeds for this cabbage in springtime. If you like, you can start the seeds indoors to get a jump on the crop. Transplant the resulting seedlings outside after four to six weeks. Like most cabbages, Primo Vantage care is fairly easy if you site them correctly. They require fertile, well-drained soil and a full sun location. Plant the seeds to a depth of about ¼ inch (0.5 cm.) in containers or ½ inch (1.5 cm.) if direct sowing. Sow three or four seeds per group, spacing the groups 12 inches (30.5 cm.) apart. Thin to one plant per group when the seedlings appear. Generally, it’s better to start growing these cabbages when the weather is relatively cool rather than scalding. The optimal temperature is between 60-75 F. (16-24 C.), but this variety will still grow in hotter weather.
