Cabbage Seeds

🥬 A Canadian Garden Classic

Introduced to Canada in the 1540s by Jacques Cartier, cabbage remains a staple for the home garden. We offer a diverse selection, ranging from sweet, puckered Savoy types and crisp cone or ball-headed varieties to tender, upright Chinese types and vibrant red cabbages.

  • Rotation is Key: To prevent disease, never plant cabbage or other Brassica family members in the same location in consecutive years.

  • Sowing & Transplanting: Sow seeds 6 mm deep in a soilless mix 5 weeks before your last frost date. Germinate at 21°C for 7–10 days. Grow on at cooler temperatures, harden off, and transplant outdoors in late May. Space plants 45 cm apart in rows 75 cm apart.

  • Cultivation: Cabbages are shallow-rooted, so cultivate the soil carefully. One packet sows approximately 20 m of row.

  • Harvesting: Harvest when the heads feel firm and solid when squeezed. Cut the stem close to the ground rather than pulling the plant out by the roots.
