Early Round Dutch Cabbage | Premium Garden-Fresh Heirloom Seeds

Dating to the late 1800s, Early Round Dutch is a classic, open-pollinated heirloom cabbage with dense, firm, oval-to-round, 4–5-pound heads averaging 6–7 inches across, sometimes reaching 10–12 inches depending on conditions. Its crinkled, cup-shaped, dark blue-green leaves have sturdy wrappers ideal for stuffing. Sweet, crisp, and tender, it suits fresh salads, slaws, soups, stir-fries, and traditional sauerkraut. Heat-tolerant and slow to bolt in warm weather, it thrives in southern and northern gardens, holds well for extended harvests, and stores well afterward.
