White Cabbage Seeds

White cabbage is often used for making sauerkraut. It is also grown for the fresh market. It is one of the oldest types of cabbage. It has traditionally been grown mainly in North Holland, as it is not affected by blight there. This is also reflected in the variety names, such as ’Langendijker’ and ’Roem van Enkhuizen’.

Varieties of white cabbage

White cabbage is a round, rather firm cabbage. Apart from white cabbage, there is another variety of head cabbage that is white, which is the pointed cabbage. This is, as the name suggests, somewhat more pointed in shape.

White cabbage can be grown almost all year round:

Early cultivation, with pre-sowing in February and March, under glass or indoors, for harvest in summer. 

In open ground from May, for a harvest in autumn and winter.

In addition, seeds can also be sown in September and October, under glass or in a greenhouse, for planting out the following spring.

Types of white cabbage

There are two types of white cabbage: pointed, known as pointed (white) cabbage, and round, white cabbage. The following cultivation methods are distinguished:

Cultivation of pointed cabbage for the earliest crops, with harvests in June and sometimes also for summer crops, summer crops with harvests in July and August, early autumn crops with harvests in September and early October, late autumn crops with harvests in October and langedijker bewaar crops with harvests in November.
