Cabbage 'Brunswick'
Brassica oleracea
Cold-hardy, reliable cabbage that stores exceptionally well! This German heirloom was introduced in 1924 and is known for making excellent sauerkraut. In one of my early gardens, I planted this variety next to a hybrid Chinese cabbage, and while the bugs demolished my Chinese cabbage, Brunswick was unfazed. It was a lightbulb moment for me–heirloom varieties have stood the test of time for a reason. I've grown it ever since!
Packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
