Planting & Care
Sow red cabbage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly in the garden in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once seedlings have 2-3 true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.
Provide consistent moisture and mulch to keep the soil cool and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to form heads. Watch for common cabbage pests like aphids and caterpillars, and use row covers if necessary. Harvest heads when they are firm and fully colored.
