We love this cabbage as its a top performer in all types of climates. We carry this from mutliple seed companies based on availability. We strive to stock organic and lead with that so when it comes available organically we do jump at the chance for that.

Instructions:
Cabbages prefer well-drained fertile soil that is within the range of 6.0-7.5 pH. A general guideline is 2-3 lbs of 8-16-16 fertilizer over 100 sq ft of the garden area two weeks before planting. If boron is not present in your soils, consider adding 1 Tbs per 100 sq ft.
Direct sow when daytime soil temps warm to 75°F. Start seeds indoors or in cold frames 4-6 weeks before the planting date. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 75°F but seeds will germinate in soils as cool as 50°F.
Cabbage is mature when the tight outer leaf of the head begins to fold back on itself. Cut heads flat on the underside. Cabbage is best stored at 32°F, with high humidity and good air circulation.
