Directions: Start indoors early spring and transplant out ASAP for a summer harvest. For a fall crop, start indoors in late May and transplant ASAP. Plants will grow voluptuous and large, and then head up as the nights get cooler. Cabbage generally prefers cool growing temperatures, though this variety is somewhat heat-tolerant.
