HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Start your Stonehead Hybrid cabbage seeds inside 8-12 weeks before the last spring frost, planting them in rich soil 1/2 inch deep and 2 inches apart. Because the first crop of cabbage should mature before the heat of summer, plant your seedlings about 4 weeks before the last expected frost; set them 12-18" apart in rows 3-4' apart, burying the stems about halfway up. For a fall crop, direct sow or transplant seedlings in midsummer. For companion planting benefits, plant cabbage with aromatic herbs or potatoes; avoid planting them with tomatoes or pole beans. Herbs such as thyme, peppermint, sage, and rosemary will repel the destructive white cabbage moth.
Growing: If hard frosts come, cover the young plants. Mulch around them to regulate soil temperature, and keep the soil moisture even to prevent the cabbages from splitting.
Harvesting: Harvest the cabbages as soon as feel firm and reach a good size. Small cabbages tend to be more tender, while large cabbages from fall growth keep well over the winter. Stonehead cabbages are quite resistant to splitting, so the harvest can be put off if necessary.
Seed Saving: Because this variety of cabbage is a hybrid, the seed it produces will either be sterile or will revert to the characteristics to one of the parent seeds; reproducing this type from its own seed will not be successful.

We love all your seeds. Buying from you for several years now.
year round in Las Vegas NV
Love Everwilde packaging and glad they have moved west. Small compact all edible, even outer leaves, variety grows well in water conservative 5 gal pots. I start them under LED in 4", they transplant well. If pic loaded they are 1 month old and will go out as soon as out triple digit temps end.

Best source of seeds I have found in years.
Over the years I have ordered seeds from many different companies, Everwilde stands above all I have used. A good selection of seeds, best packaging, first time ever have I found good, complete planting instructions, generous seed amount, fast shipping at reasonable rate, and favorable pricing. The fast germinating seeds are up already at 100% germination. I have recommended Everwilde to my daughters and all gardening friends.
Fast Service!
We have not received these yet here in Mongolia (where we live and run a vegetable-growing company), but our order arrived very quickly to our family in IL! Not only that, but Everwilde had the hard-to-find Stonehead Cabbage seeds. So although we cannot comment yet on germination, we are already very pleased!
