Planting & Care
Sow Bilko cabbage seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, or direct sow in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow proper head development.
Provide consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially as heads begin to form. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Bilko cabbage benefits from a side dressing of compost or balanced fertilizer midway through the season. Harvest when heads are firm and fully formed.
