‘Rouge Tete Noir’ Late Summer/Early Autumn cabbage

A real unsung hero. We’ve offered it for years and never really praised it sufficiently, but looking at them on the field one autumn we realised again just what an excellent cabbage it is. With no care or attention it grew through the wet and drought and made great firm heads that the caterpillars and slugs left alone. It’s fab! 

A super-reliable red round-headed variety for late summer & early autumn harvest, great shredded in salads or coleslaw as the deep red surface contrasts with the white flesh inside. 

We have found that red cabbages seem to be somewhat less affected by caterpillars, perhaps because they show up more to the birds on the red background?

Firm red heads, short stem. Sow in spring for use mid-summer onwards.
