Red Jewel Cabbage Seeds
Red Jewel Cabbage Seeds produce a striking hybrid red cabbage variety known for its brilliant garnet-red color, excellent uniformity, and early maturity. This variety forms medium to large, round, dense heads averaging about 6 inches in diameter and weighing 3 to 3.5 pounds. The smooth, semi-round heads feature dark red to purple outer leaves and vibrant purple interior leaves accented with white veins, making it visually appealing for fresh markets, cooking, pickling, and sauerkraut. Red Jewel offers consistent performance across various climates, with good resistance to tip burn and slow bolting, making it a dependable choice for spring and fall production.
Growing Information
Days to Maturity: Approximately 75 to 90 days from transplant.
Planting: Seeds can be sown directly or started indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost. Sow 1/4 inch deep, spacing plants 12 inches apart with 2 to 3 feet between rows.
Soil & Conditions: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Performs best in cooler temperatures to avoid bolting.
Care: Regular watering and balanced fertilization support healthy growth; mulch helps conserve moisture.
Harvest: Harvest heads when compact and firm, suitable for fresh consumption or processing.
Shipping Info
Red Jewel Cabbage seeds ship as premium-quality, untreated seed packaged in moisture- and damage-resistant packets. Seeds are sealed to maintain freshness and viability during transit and shipped promptly to ensure timely planting and successful crop establishment.
