Caraflex Hybrid Cabbage

‘Caraflex’ Hybrid Cabbage is an early, compact variety known for its distinctive pointed heads, crisp texture, and sweet, mild flavor. Plants produce tightly wrapped, cone-shaped heads that typically weigh about 1½–2 pounds, making them a practical size for smaller gardens and everyday kitchen use.

Start ‘Caraflex’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden for a cool-season crop. Grow plants in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture to support tight, uniform head development.

Harvest the heads once they feel firm and have reached the desired size. The compact plants make efficient use of garden space, and the uniform heads perform well for both summer and fall harvests.

‘Caraflex’ cabbage is especially well suited for fresh eating, slicing, salads, slaws, and other dishes where a tender, crisp cabbage is preferred. The heads also store well after harvest.
