Red Drumhead cooks beautifully and keeps its rich colour—no fading on the plate! Sow from early March to the end of May for a reliable harvest between mid-September and late December.
A great choice for vibrant cooked dishes, slaws, and winter meals.
SOW: from early March to end of May. For the best results start the seeds in modules or pots at 10mm deep, you can sow into a seed bed.
GROW: harden off and plant out about 5/6 weeks after sowing. Close spacing will give you smaller heads and greens. Cut the cabbages as you need them from mid-September (March sown) to the end of December (May sown).
ENJOY: Red Drumhead is simply delicious sliced thinly and steamed for 10 minutes – quick and easy.
RECIPE IDEA – Braised Red Drumhead
For a classic side with a twist, try braising Red Drumhead cabbage. Add a handful of raisins and a touch of honey while it cooks for a subtly sweet, rich flavour that pairs beautifully with roast dinners.
