Mammoth Red Rock Cabbage Seeds

Mammoth Red Rock Cabbage Seeds

A great cabbage for pickling or in col-slaw, Mammoth Red Rock Cabbage was introduced to the US in 1889. It is known for its deep red 7-8lb heads and great flavor.

Mammoth Red Rock Cabbage is high in Vitamin C and is great cooked, fresh in salads, or for pickling.

This cabbage does best as a transplant when started indoors, from seed, 4-6 weeks prior to last expected frost date. Seedlings should be hardened for 1-2 weeks prior to being transplanted into the ground. Transplant the seedlings in the spring, two weeks prior to the last frost date.

Continue to water Cabbage after the first harvest and second heads will form. The second heads are known to be very delicious.
