No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your transplant date, keeping soil temperature at 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit for reliable germination. This timing allows seedlings to develop strong root systems and reach transplant size without becoming leggy or stressed.
Harden off seedlings gradually over 7 to 10 days before transplanting outdoors. Space transplants 18 inches apart in rows 24 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil after the soil has warmed slightly and frost danger has passed for spring crops, or 8 to 10 weeks before the first expected fall frost for autumn harvests.
Harvest Green Magic heads at 57 days after transplanting when the buds are tight, green, and fully developed but still before any individual flowers begin to open. Cut the main head with a sharp knife, leaving the plant intact; side shoots will often develop for additional smaller harvests. Pick in the morning when heads are firm and hydrated for the best quality.
