Cabbage Seeds for Planting: Green, Red, Savoy, and Napa Varieties

Cabbage is a cool-season staple that gives you dense, heavy heads from a small patch of garden. Our collection of cabbage seeds covers round green heads, pointed early types, red cabbage, crinkled savoy, and Napa cabbage for kimchi and stir-fries. Growing cabbage from seed opens up a much wider range of varieties than you'll find as transplants, and it costs only a fraction as much. With the right timing, you can plant a spring crop and a fall crop from the same packet.

Cabbage Seeds for Sale: Early, Storage, Red, and Savoy Types

When you browse cabbage seeds for sale, the first choice is how fast you want heads. Golden Acre, Copenhagen Market, Early Jersey Wakefield, and Charleston Wakefield are classic early varieties that make smaller heads in a shorter season, which suits impatient gardeners and smaller beds. Tiara F1 and Caraflex F1 are hybrids that produce tidy, tender heads, and Caraflex has the pointed shape that many cooks love for slaws and sautés. All Seasons is a dependable all-around green.

If you want cabbage for winter storage or sauerkraut, look at Late Flat Dutch and Danish Ball Head, which grow larger, denser heads that keep well. Red cabbage is available in Red Acre, Red Express, Express Red, Amarant, Kalibos, and Mammoth Red Rock, with colors ranging from deep purple to ruby. Savoy Perfection and Purple Savoy have crinkled, ruffled leaves with a mild flavor, and Napa and Emiko F1 Napa produce tender, oblong heads with crisp, sweet leaves.

Growing Cabbage from Seed: Timing for Spring and Fall

Cabbage grows best in cool weather and bolts or stalls when it gets hot, so timing matters most. For a spring crop, sow seeds indoors about four to six weeks before your last frost and transplant seedlings outdoors a couple of weeks before that date. For a fall crop, start seeds in midsummer so heads mature as temperatures cool. Sow seeds about a quarter inch deep and expect sprouts within a week or so. Give plants 12 to 24 inches of space, depending on the head size of your variety, and plant them in rich, well-drained soil with full sun and steady moisture. The Seedtime planting calendar works out both your spring and fall sowing dates from your frost dates, and the layout planner helps you give each cabbage room to size up.

Buy Cabbage Seeds with One Flat Shipping Rate

When you buy cabbage seeds here, you can combine packets from different suppliers in one order and pay one flat shipping rate rather than a separate shipping charge for each supplier. Seedtime members also get discounts on seed packets, so if you're planning a full cool-season garden, compare Seedtime's plans to see what membership includes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my cabbage heads splitting open?

+

Splitting is usually caused by a sudden burst of water after a dry spell, or by leaving mature heads in the garden too long. Keep soil evenly moist, and harvest firm heads promptly. If a head is ready but you're not, give the plant a quarter turn to snap a few roots, which slows growth and helps prevent splitting.

How do I keep cabbage worms off my plants?

+

Cover young plants with lightweight row cover right after transplanting, and secure the edges so moths can't lay eggs on the leaves. If caterpillars get through, pick them off by hand, especially from the undersides of leaves. Check plants every few days, since the small green larvae blend in well and can chew through leaves quickly.

Why is my cabbage not forming a head?

+

The usual causes are heat, crowding, or poor soil. Plants that mature in hot weather often stay loose and leafy, and plants set too close together compete for space. Cabbage is also a heavy feeder, so work compost into the bed before planting and side-dress with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer partway through the season. Choose an early variety if your spring warms up fast.

Can I grow cabbage in containers?

+

Yes. Choose a compact, early variety and plant one cabbage per pot that holds at least five gallons, with plenty of drainage. Containers dry out quickly, so water often and feed regularly. A cool, sunny spot works best, and moving pots into afternoon shade during a heat wave can keep plants from stalling.

How do I know when to harvest cabbage, and how long will it keep?

+

Squeeze the head. When it feels firm and solid, it's ready to cut. Use a sharp knife to cut just below the head, and leave the outer leaves and root in place, because many plants will send up small secondary heads. Fresh heads keep for several weeks in the refrigerator, and storage varieties can last for months in a cold, humid spot such as a root cellar.
