We show the three pointed cabbage varieties: As a hobby gardener, you are spoiled for choice, whether you choose well-tried or more productive new breeds.
Pointed cabbage varieties differ mainly in sowing and harvesting times, size and color. Here we have a few well-known varieties of Plantura Pointed cabbage listed for you:
- Caraflex tolerant (F1): Tapered variety with medium heads between 1-2 kg head weight; aromatic taste; Suitable for both raw food and cooking.
- firstborn: Rapidly growing; good to plant in spring; The first is usually preferred and planted outdoors from March. Ready for harvest from the end of May.
- Calibos: hybrid of pointed and Red cabbage; nicely colored red-purple and loosely packed heads; the approx. 1 kg heavy heads are ready for harvest in September or October, depending on sowing; storage is only possible to a limited extent.
Our note: The three varieties above should not be confused with the lilac herb variety from Swabia, which belongs to white cabbage but has a pointed shape.
Cultivation differs from white cabbage only in the sowing and harvesting season. For all other aspects we would like to refer to our Portrait of the white cabbage.
