This dwarf variety produces smooth, deep green domed heads, but no side shoots. Destiny is heat-tolerant and grows best in warmer zones, plus it’s resistant to downy mildew. Destiny’s crisp texture makes it a good choice for stir-frys.

Soil pH:

  • 6.0 to 6.8

Hardiness Zones:

  • 7 to 11

Spacing:

  • Thin to 18 inches apart
  • Space rows 18 to 24 inches apart

  • 1 to 1.5 inches per week depending on rainfall

Notes:

  • Mild with crisp texture
  • Small to medium heads
  • Grows 12 to 18 inches high
