Cabbage Guide
Cabbage Comparison Chart
Compare every cabbage we carry side by side. Early and compact types are ready in 45–70 days and fit small gardens; main-season cabbages make big, dense heads for slaw and kraut; storage types keep for months in a cool cellar. Red, savoy and Asian cabbages round out the list. Tap any variety to see full details and order seed.

Grow cabbage in cool weather
Cabbage forms its best heads between about 60 and 70°F. Transplant early types in spring so they mature before summer heat, and grow main-season and storage types as a fall crop: light frost makes the heads sweeter. Even moisture keeps heads from splitting.

Disease Resistance Codes
Days are from transplant and are typical values from breeders and seed trials; results vary with growing conditions. A dash (—) means no resistance is published for that variety.
