Ruby Perfection Hybrid Cabbage

‘Ruby Perfection’ is a standout hybrid red cabbage known for its dense, globe-shaped heads, rich purple-red color, and excellent storage quality. The solid heads develop beautiful color inside and out, while their compact growth allows for closer spacing—making this variety especially useful in smaller gardens where every inch counts. It is also slow to burst, helping the heads hold well in the garden.

Start ‘Ruby Perfection’ seeds indoors for transplanting, or sow directly in the garden where conditions allow. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 6 to 8 inches apart, and grow in full sun to partial shade. This cold-tolerant variety performs especially well in cool-season gardens.

Ready to harvest in about 85 days, the heads can be picked once they feel firm and have reached the desired size.

Crisp, colorful, and dependable, ‘Ruby Perfection’ is an excellent choice for slaws, pickling, and storage.
