Details

Perk up coleslaw or your favorite stir-fry with this gorgeous deep red cabbage. The sweet flavor of cabbage fresh from the garden is much better than store-bought. Solid 3 lb. heads form early on small, compact plants making it an ideal choice for small gardens. Resistant to splitting and the disease, “cabbage yellows.” Heads store well in the refrigerator or root cellar.

Michigan Seeds and Plants grown on our farm, Renegade Acres, in Howell, MI!
