Red Express forms compact, early heads of deep burgundy leaves—sweet, crunchy, and perfect for small gardens and quick slaws. Color holds when cooked and adds antioxidants to the plate. Start indoors, transplant early, and keep moisture steady. Heads are ready in about 60 days; don’t wait too long or they’ll split. A fast red cabbage with full flavor.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-85 degrees. Transplant to the garden 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost. If direct seeding, sow seeds 3 to 5 weeks prior to average last frost or as soon as the soil can be worked. For fall harvest, plant transplants 7-9 weeks before average first frost date.
