Cabbage Sugarloaf Early Jersey Wakefield Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perBrassica oleracea var. capitata
Early Jersey Wakefield is a historic Sugarloaf Cabbage producing distinctive conical, tightly packed heads weighing approximately 1–1.5 kg. The pale green leaves are particularly tender and sweet, making this an excellent dual-purpose cabbage for both cooking and fresh eating.
The crisp young leaves are delicious finely shredded into salads and coleslaw, while mature heads are excellent steamed, sautéed, braised, fermented or added to soups and stir-fries. Its compact, pointed heads mature relatively quickly and take up less garden space than many large round-headed cabbages.
Early Jersey Wakefield has a long history in cultivation. Sugarloaf-type cabbages were described in the 17th century, and Early Jersey Wakefield became one of the enduring early cabbage varieties of the 19th century, with records of this type appearing in Australia by the 1830s.
Hardy and reliable, plants perform best through the cooler months in full sun with rich, fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Mature plants tolerate frost, while the relatively quick maturity makes this a useful variety for succession planting.
Approximately 150 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Late summer to winter
Mild climates: Late summer to winter and early spring
Cold climates: Spring after the last frost, or summer for an autumn crop
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep. Keep consistently moist during germination and establishment.
Transplant or thin seedlings to approximately 35–45 cm apart in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Maintain regular moisture as heads develop and harvest once the conical heads feel firm and well formed.
If saving seed, remember that cabbage will cross-pollinate readily with other compatible Brassica oleracea varieties, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.
Maturity: approximately 70–85 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
