Cabbage Seeds - Charleston Wakefield

Brassica oleracea HEIRLOOM. Charleston Wakefield cabbage was introduced in 1892 as the Southern grower’s answer to Early Jersey Wakefield. It produces similar conical heads, but handles warm weather better than its predecessor, making it an ideal choice for spring crops in the South, though it is also plenty frost-tolerant for fall planting. Heads grow to 4 to 6 pounds.  Seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date and transplant out after last frost for summer harvest, or direct seed in mid to late summer for fall harvest. Prefers full sun, but can tolerate part shade, especially if the weather is hot. Heads mature in about 74 days. 1.75 gram packet contains a minimum of 200 seeds.
