Just like Hoek Seedlings in Pongola, more and more seedling nurseries and growers are choosing the popular cabbage variety Menzania due to its excellent characteristics.

This variety has a very strong frame whilst the first wrapper leaves are high above the ground, this allows for excellent drainage of excess water. It also offers good uniformity with an excellent cut rate.

Menzania is a round semi flattened head type cabbage. It has large strong wrapper leaves with good uniformity and high quality. It’s leaf colour is medium to dark green with very compact leaves.

Planting times are mainly during summer going into winter. It takes approximately 90 - 100 days in the warmer areas and 110 - 130 days in cooler areas. The average head mass is 3.5 - 6kg. Menzania makes a perfect bagging cabbage as well as for the loose head hawker market.
