Park Seed Red Express Purple Red Cabbage Features
-
A super early variety, Red Express Purple/Red Cabbage is grown as a leafy vegetable. The plant sets dense, oval-shaped, deep red-purple heads, weighing 2 to 4 pounds. Homegrown cabbage is sweeter and crunchier than store bought. Purple/Red cabbage is popular for pickling and braising.
-
Cabbage is considered a superfood for its nutrient rich content, having a high (top 20) Aggregate Nutrient Density Index score (ANDI), or micronutrient-per-calorie density. It is a good source of vitamin C and also contain vitamin A, vitamin B6, potassium, fiber, and many phytonutrients, including glucosinolates, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds.
-
Red Express Purple/Red Cabbage was bred for Canada and northern United States. Typically grown as an annual, this herbaceous biennial is a member of the cabbage and mustard family (Brassicaceae or Cruciferae), commonly called crucifers, brassicas, or cole crops. Red Express Purple/Red Cabbage has a medium-sized, compact habit and can be spaced closer than other varieties.
-
Easy to grow from seed, Red Express Purple/Red Cabbage prefers full sun and organically rich, consistently moist, well-drained loams. If roots stand in water, heads will split or rot.
-
Cabbage is a heavy feeder and benefits from amending the soil before planting with aged manure and/or compost and fertilizing with a balanced ratio of nutrients, preferably a 10:10:10, in the early stages of growth.
About Park Seed Red Express Purple Red Cabbage
It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
