The perfect cabbage for locations with cool nights, such as the Pacific Northwest. This blue-green variety produces 12″ heads that generally weigh up to 12lbs, but they can get closer to 40lb even! Excellent flavor and great for processing. Not a good variety for growing in hot conditions, such as down South.
Cabbage – Late Flat Dutch – Brassica oleracea
Soil and Water: Cabbage prefers rich, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Water heavily from planting to head formation, then water moderately to prevent splitting.
Planting and Growing: Start indoors 8 weeks before last frost, or outdoors March through June. Cabbage prefers cool weather. Fast growing or stressed cabbages tend to split and bolt; cutting into the root system by transplanting will slow growth and prevent splitting. Provide transplants with cutworm shield collars.
Harvesting and Storage: Harvest when the head feels solid. Smaller heads sometimes grow from the remaining plant.
