Planting & Care

Sow Stonehead Cabbage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, especially as heads begin to form. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to package instructions. Watch for common pests like cabbage worms and aphids, and take appropriate measures as needed.
