Brassica Empire Anna has round, white leaves with green outer leaves and -in a later stage- a light purple blush in the centre. The leaves form a compact rosette, with an early to medium leaf colouring speed, making Anna one of the earliest varieties to harvest. The Brassica Empire series is the latest generation of high quality ornamental cabbages, which has rapidly made a name for itself. Throughout the floriculture supply chain, Brassica Empire is now widely appreciated. From the wholesale to retail and florists, there is an active demand for Empire. And not without reason. Extensive breeding efforts have resulted in a Brassica series with a great appearance, tall sturdy stems of at least 80 cm and a hardier leaf structure. Independent testing by Royal FloraHolland has proven the Empire series to be less sensitive to diseases, with a vaselife far above average and a strong reduction of the typical Brassica odour.
