Everwilde Farms - 50 Stonehead Hybrid Cabbage Seeds - Gold Vault Seed Packet

Stonehead cabbage lives up to its name with its solid 4 to 6 pound heads! The harvest of this hybrid can be delayed, as it is resistant to splitting. Compact plants can be planted close together to save space in your garden! Cabbage is considered one of the oldest cultivated vegetables, since historians trace it back to 4,000 BC in China. The Romans also cultivated it and praised it for its healing qualities; philosphers Pythagorus and Cato both made the lowly cabbage the subject of a book. Jacques Cartier brought the first cabbage to America in 1536. Cabbages were quite popular in colonial America, being pickled and preserved in every possible way to provide food for the winter. Stonehead received an AAS Award in 1969.
