Latin Brassica oleracea
The Red Express Cabbage is a fast-growing, compact variety known for its deep red-purple, tightly packed heads and crisp, sweet flavour. This early-maturing cabbage thrives in cool weather and is ready to harvest in 63-70 days, making it an excellent choice for short growing seasons. Its small to medium-sized heads, typically 2-4 pounds, are perfect for fresh slaws, salads, and cooking. Resistant to splitting and well-suited for small gardens, Red Express is a reliable, nutritious, and vibrant addition to any vegetable patch.
Growing Red Express Cabbage is easy, especially in cool climates. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow them directly in the garden 2-4 weeks before the last frost. Transplant seedlings when they have 3-4 true leaves, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart. This cabbage thrives in full sun and rich, well-drained soil, requiring consistent watering to prevent splitting. Matures in 70 days.
