Charleston Wakefield cabbage, introduced in 1892, is a descendant of Early Jersey Wakefield cabbage. Charleston Wakefield is larger than its ancestor but still conical in shape and just as tasty. It's also slightly larger, with heads weighing about 4 to 6 pounds at maturity. Heat resistant, but it tolerates cooler temperatures as well. An excellent choice for your garden at any time of year! In the 19th century, cabbage was a delicious mainstay on American dinner tables. Introduced in 1892, this longtime heirloom cabbage favorite has yet to lose its flavor. The large, 6-8" elongated heads tip the scales at 4-6 lb and store extremely well.
Seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date and transplant out after the last frost for summer harvest, or direct seed in mid to late summer for fall harvest. Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially if the weather is hot. Heads mature in about 70-85 days.
