65 days. Very early, high quality sort. Dense, solid heads are very spherical, reaching 5-7 inches in diameter and weights of 3-5 pounds. Plants are very compact relative to the size of the heads, allowing closer spacing than some varieties. Fine for cole slaw, stir fries and other fresh uses. Not usually considered an excellent storage type. One of the earliest types we sell, and popular since at least the 1920s.

85 days. Incredibly graceful appearance would qualify Kalibos for the flower garden, but this European variety is eminently useful as well! The conical, long, heart-shaped, 2-pound heads of deep red are on the small side, ideal for a single dish. The color is so beautiful when the leaves are shredded into slaw, and the flavor is mild and very sweet. They’re good keepers as well, allowing you to enjoy your fall harvest well into winter.

What a show stopper! This big friendly Giant will be your kids’ next best friend! (And yours, too!) This giant cabbage was once a premier crop in Hokkaido, Japan. Noted as a unique variety since the 1800’s, it was almost lost to history. The Japanese in the ‘’Showa” Period had quite the taste and fondness for this big brassica. Hokkaido growers report averages of 17-37 pounds each, or even up to 44 pounds in optimal growing conditions. Not popular for size only, the Sapporo Giant has won gold medals in Japanese taste tests. It has a natural sweetness and stays tender as it grows to its immense size. Thanks to a special team of dedicated growers, we are again able to bring this variety to the fore and protect it from becoming a relic of times past. To impress.... try making a Sapporo giant cabbage roll. It will fill a platter!

60 days. Also known as Black Palm Tree, Dinosaur, and Lacinato Kale, this loose-leafed cabbage dates back at least to the early 1800s. It has beautiful, heavily savoyed, deep black-green leaves that can be 24" long. This Italian heirloom is popular in Tuscany and central Italy for making fabulous soups and stews. This is one of the most beautiful and flavorful types you can grow, and one of the healthiest vegetables we ever tested! It can have up to three times the recommended daily vitamin A, plus loads of minerals, calcium, and vitamin C, as well as lots of fiber and protein. A truly a miraculous plant from historic Italy!
