Description

Cabbage Early Jersey Wakefield (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is a historic heirloom dating back to 1840, renowned for its distinctive, cone-shaped heads and sweet, tender flavor. Producing solid, pointed heads weighing 2 to 3 pounds, it features smooth, dark blue-green outer leaves protecting a tight, crisp, pale-green interior. Extremely dependable and naturally split-resistant, its compact footprint makes it an exceptional early-season choice for small gardens, fresh summer coleslaws, stir-fries, steaming, and salads.

Good to know

Fast-maturing heirloom producing harvestable heads in just 60–65 days from transplant
Pointed shape sheds rainwater naturally, making it remarkably resistant to head splitting
Tender, sweet leaf texture is less fibrous than many larger autumn drumhead varieties

Smaller head size (2–3 lbs) yields less bulk volume than giant storage types like Brunswick
Outer leaves benefit from protective floating row covers early in spring to deter flea beetles and cabbage loopers
