Copenhagen Market Cabbage- 400

Copenhagen Market Cabbage is an early ball-head type heirloom cabbage that was originally introduced from Denmark in 1909. Over the last 95 years, this excellent old fashioned cabbage has established itself as favorite among gardeners and cabbage fans worldwide and has served as the model for all commercial cabbage varieties developed since. Copenhagen Market Cabbage is an excellent variety for the home gardener in that it is not only one of the best for the table, but is very hardy and adapts to a wide range of climates. This lovely cabbage produces a heavy yield of 4 to 5 pound, 7 inch round heads of cabbage. The compact growth of this variety allows for close planting and the maximization of existing space for the gardener with a small plot. The cabbage heads are of a blue-green color and of an attractive, fine quality with a solid construction that excels when used fresh or cooked. The interiors of the head are white and are ideal for making sauerkraut. The leaves are tightly wrapped, so this variety will stand for a long time without splitting and stores extremely well. This wonderful heirloom cabbage matures in about 65 to 75 days.
