Bulk Red Acre Cabbage Heirloom Seeds, Brassica oleracea var. capitata BR031C

Red Acre is a compact heirloom red cabbage that makes tight, round, deep reddish-purple heads of about 3 pounds. The plants stay small and tidy, so it is a good choice for raised beds and smaller gardens where a full-size cabbage would crowd everything else out.

The heads are dense and crisp with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. The color holds well, which makes Red Acre a favorite for slaw, salads, pickling and braising. Heads stand in the garden without splitting longer than most, and they store well in a cool place after harvest.

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost and set plants out 12 to 18 inches apart once they have a few true leaves. For a fall crop, sow in midsummer. Sow 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Cabbage likes full sun, rich soil and even moisture, and it tastes sweetest when it matures in cool weather.

Germination temps: 65-75 degrees
Harvest: about 65 days from transplant
Head size: around 3 lbs
Heirloom, open pollinated
