Early Jersey Wakefield Heirloom Cabbage
Growing Early Jersey Wakefield Heirloom Cabbage
‘Early Jersey Wakefield’ is a beloved heirloom cabbage known for its early harvests, compact size, and sweet, tender flavor. The distinctive pale green, pointed heads stay smaller than many traditional cabbages, making this variety a great choice for tighter garden spaces and closer planting. It also offers good resistance to splitting and yellows, along with excellent tolerance to hard frost.
Start ‘Early Jersey Wakefield’ seeds indoors for transplanting. Sow seeds about ¼ inch deep, then transplant seedlings 18 to 24 inches apart in full sun to partial shade. Its impressive cold tolerance makes it especially well suited for cool-season gardens.
Ready to harvest in about 64 days, the heads can be picked once they feel firm and have reached your preferred size.
Crisp, sweet, and versatile, ‘Early Jersey Wakefield’ is excellent for fresh slaws and salads, sautéing, roasting, everyday cooking, and short-term storage.
