Min. Temp
Hardy: 28°
A large drum-head type cabbage having delicious finely-crinkled, medium dark-green savoyed leaves that are sweet and mild in flavor. Heads average 6-8 lbs. Finer than most cabbages, being sweeter, with a delicate flavor, it does not give off a sulfur smell when cooking like other cabbage varieties. Hardy and easy to grow, especially as a late cabbage, its flavor improves even more after a light frost. High production means this is perfect for home gardens and market growers.
