    This ancient vegetable was used throughout ancient Greece and Rome. Revered by the Grecians of early times as being sacred and commonly used medicinally by the Romans. Recognized for being exceedingly high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, folic acid, potassium. This large cabbage keeps well, although flavor has a tendency to taper off with heat and is enhanced with cooler weather.

    Has the capacity to be grown as a winter vegetable in warmer climates. Cabbage heads have a tendency to split if not harvested at the right time. A delicious vegetable shaved thin for sauerkraut, in salads or cooked in a stir-fry, steamed or in soup.

    Instructions - Sow seed indoors ¼" deep 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Plant out just before the last frost. Take care not to disrupt the shallow root system while transplanting and weeding. Make sure cabbage has a regular supply of water. Mulching cabbage will reduce weeds and keep moderate temperatures and even moisture in the soil. Cabbage is a heavy feeder and consequently needs an even supply of nutrients.

    • Start Indoors: 6-8 weeks before the last frost
    • Germination: 7-12 Days
    • Plant Outdoors: 24-36” Apart
    • Light: Full Sun
