Uniquely shaped small heads of cabbage that are wonderfully sweet and always crisp and crunchy, even the wrappers on the head. They are great for both salads, slaw and cooking. In other countries they use them as early spring greens and pick them before the heads form. You can also store it in a very cool place, for up to 10 weeks, which is a real plus.
You can grow this cabbage from spring on into the dangers of the fall frosts and beyond if protected with covering. It is an amazing specimen and addition to your life. The heads measure 5 to 6” in height and are neatly compact and attractive. If you are growing them to sell at Farmer’s Markets they are real eye-catchers. However, you can also grow them in large pots to add them to small space property or only the availability of patios to grow crops on.
In Europe, it is also known as a Conehead or Arrowhead Cabbage. The leaves are so tender that they can be confused with lettuce in a salad. Excellent as a baby cabbage as well.
