Growing Instructions

Instructions - Sow seed indoors ¼" deep 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Plant out just before the last frost. Take care not to disrupt the shallow root system while transplanting and weeding. Make sure cabbage has a regular supply of water. Mulching cabbage will reduce weeds and keep moderate temperatures and even moisture in the soil. Cabbage is a heavy feeder and consequently needs an even supply of nutrients.

  • Start Indoors: 6-8 weeks before last frost
  • Germination: 7-12 Days
  • Plant Outdoors: 24-36” Apart
  • Light: Full Sun

Purple sauerkraut!

by

I grew this cabbage last year and loved it! First of all it’s a beautiful plant with no pests at all. It made a delicious batch of sauerkraut and retained its color nicely! I’ll be growing Kalibos again.
