| Planted this in 2026 and it is by far the best early cabbage I have ever grown. Forms a nice tight head in just 57 days from transplant (103 days from starting). Did not bolt and did not split despite prolonged period of 90-98 degree days. I have never had mature cabbage not split at those temps. Holds well in the garden. Taste, boiled or sauteed, is very good. Seeds came from Harris Seeds. |

| An older variety that is still a top competitor in its class. Small, dense round heads are uniform in size and harvest. An excellent spring cabbage for this region. |
