Purple Cabbage
Purple Cabbage, also known as Red Cabbage, is a vibrant, nutrient-rich variety with deep purple-red leaves and a crisp, slightly peppery flavor. It's not only stunning in the garden but also adds a burst of color to dishes, making it perfect for slaws, salads, stir-fries, or pickling. The leaves hold up well when cooked and maintain their color, offering both a nutritional boost and a striking visual appeal. Purple Cabbage is also high in antioxidants and vitamin C, making it a healthy addition to any meal. It thrives in cool weather and is a great crop for both spring and fall gardens.
Planting Tips:
- Full sun and well-drained, fertile soil are key for optimal growth.
- Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper head development.
- Water consistently, keeping soil evenly moist but not soggy.
