Growing Information
Growing Danish Ballhead Heirloom Cabbage
‘Danish Ballhead’ is a time-tested main-crop heirloom especially prized for sauerkraut and winter storage. The plants produce round, solid, blue-green heads with a mild, sweet flavor and dense texture that holds up beautifully for slaw, cooking, and fermenting.
Start ‘Danish Ballhead’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly for a cool-season crop. This dependable variety tolerates heat surprisingly well for a cabbage and also holds up in wet weather without rotting easily, giving gardeners more flexibility through changing conditions.
Harvest the heads once they are firm and fully developed. Their dense structure and excellent keeping quality make ‘Danish Ballhead’ one of the better choices for gardeners who want cabbage to store well beyond harvest.
‘Danish Ballhead’ is especially well suited for sauerkraut, slaw, boiling, cooking, and long-term storage.
