Description
Brassica oleracea
Heat-tolerant nutritional powerhouse!
This Danish heirloom dates all the way back to 1889 and remains one of the best purple cabbage varieties over 100 years later! Beautiful plants grow 5-7 pound dense, crisp heads. Handles the summer heat better than many red varieties we’ve trialed.
Seeds grown by Twisp River Seed in Twisp, WA.

Directions: Start indoors early spring and transplant out after 2-4 weeks 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 has displayed good heat-tolerance.
