Growing Directions:
This variety of cabbage seed can either be sown indoors and transplanted after the final frost of the season, or sown directly outdoors. If you sow them indoors, it is a good idea to harden off the plants over a week-long period. The plants need sunlight but also moisture to remain in their soil, so they thrive in partial sunlight. They also do best when some sort of compost has been added to their soil. Sow them ⅓” deep with 1 ½’ feet between plants and 3 feet between rows. When the heads are firm, they are ready to be harvested. For this variety, this will happen when they are about five to seven inches in diameter, and after around 90 days. To harvest the heads, remove the entire plant. This includes the stem and the root, as leaving them in the soil may cause disease, as they do not compost quickly.
