It has high tolerance for both heat and hard frost, allowing the harvest to continue through a wider range of temperatures. The mildly sweet, earthy, cabbage-like flavor becomes noticeably sweeter after exposure to frost, and the plants can hold in the garden longer without becoming bitter. Leaves are typically ready for harvest in about 65–70 days.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe broad blue-green leaves grow densely along short stems and can be harvested individually as they reach a usable size. Champion performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, with consistently moist soil helping support tender, productive foliage. It is well suited to spring and fall growing and can tolerate temperature fluctuations better than many cool-season greens.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eType: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2' - 3'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpread: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e0.75’ - 1'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpacing: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zone: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 - 11\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCulture: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca title=\"Full Sun\" href=\"https:\/\/servescape.com\/collections\/full-sun\" style=\"color: #000000;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFull Sun\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Partial Sun\" href=\"\/collections\/part-sun\" style=\"color: #000000;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePart Sun\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Color: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eN\/A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca title=\"Spring Harvest\" href=\"https:\/\/servescape.com\/collections\/spring-flower\" style=\"color: #000000;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSpring,\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca title=\"Fall Harvest\" href=\"https:\/\/servescape.com\/collections\/fall-flower\" style=\"color: #000000;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFall\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMAINTENANCE NEEDS:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Low Maintenance. Watch out for pests like aphids, cabbage loopers, and cabbage worms.
