Caribbean Queen Cabbage

Caribbean Queen is a hybrid, tropical-style cabbage that produces massive heads. Tropical cabbages are slightly flattened compared to a traditional round cabbage. This makes them easier to cut and process for making slaw, soups, stir-fries, etc. The flatter leaves also make this variety a great option for wraps. Caribbean Queen produces large cabbage heads that are great consumed raw or cooked. It can also be used for fermenting applications and making some of the best sauerkraut you've had. The leaves are pale green with a nice, crunchy texture.

Cabbage will grow best in areas where weeds are kept to a minimum. Cabbage is moderately frost-tolerant and performs better when planted in cooler weather. Cabbage will tend to bolt in warmer temperatures. Plant cabbage early in spring for a late spring/early summer harvest, or plant in late summer/early fall for a fall harvest. Cabbage are heavy feeders and require a considerable amount of nitrogen for larger heads. For best results, inject or soil drench with a balanced fertilizer at least once every two weeks. If smaller heads are desired, less fertilizer will be adequate.
