Scarlet cabbage is a mid-late maturing variety with a vegetation period from sowing to harvest onset of 120-130 days. The plant reaches a height of 80 to 120 cm and is characterized by green-purple, curly, and crinkled leaves that turn blue-purple after the first frosts. This variety is primarily grown in open ground, allowing it to adapt well to natural conditions.
One of the key features of the Scarlet variety is its high frost resistance: the cabbage can withstand temperatures down to -18 °C. Thanks to this, harvesting can be carried out until spring, leaving plants in open ground without risk of damage. For seedling production, seeds are sown in January and transplanted into open ground in April, ensuring optimal conditions for plant growth and development.
The Scarlet variety is intended for fresh consumption and is targeted at the fresh market. Its decorative and vibrant leaf coloration makes cabbage not only nutritious but also visually appealing. Due to its frost resistance and long vegetation period, this variety is an excellent choice for cultivation in cooler climates.
