Brassica oleracea, Capitata Group Cabbage
Traditional pointed sauerkraut cabbage with high sugar content; does well in cool PNW summers and is excellent for fall fermentation.
From Territorial: This Old-World favorite produces large, teardrop-shaped heads on stately plants held high off the ground. The light green heads reach 14 inches tall and over 5 inches wide for plenty of sweet fresh cabbage that's just right for the best kraut. We've found the easiest way to grate these jumbo cabbages is by holding the blunt, stem end and shredding from the pointed tip down.

Understanding Pack Options
🌱 Planting Coverage Options
Planting coverage refers to the amount of seed needed to reliably plant a given area under typical Pacific Northwest conditions.
- 1 sq ft coverage = enough seed to plant approximately one square foot
- 5 sq ft coverage = enough seed to plant approximately five square feet
Coverage is based on recommended spacing, expected germination, and normal thinning, not exact seed counts and not final plant size.
For some crops (especially tomatoes, squash, and other large plants), seeds are intended to be started in pots and later transplanted. In those cases, coverage reflects the number of starts most gardeners need, rather than the space mature plants will occupy.
