  • Ready around 13 weeks from sowing; vigorous and slow to bolt—remove the central head to encourage abundant sideshoots and extend the harvest.

Description

Marshalls Garden Calabrese 'Marathon' F1 is an RHS Award-winning variety that forms medium, dense turquoise-green heads with fine beads. Vigorous and slow to bolt, plants are ready around 13 weeks after sowing and continue to produce tasty sideshoots after the central head is removed, extending the picking season from summer into autumn (July–November). Grows to about 60cm and prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile, slightly alkaline soil (pH 6.0–7.0); performs well in both heavy and light soils. Rich in vitamins, iron and essential micronutrients, 'Marathon' delivers heavy crops and is suitable for freezing, with prompt dispatch and recyclable packaging from Marshalls Garden.
