Cape Spitz Cabbage (Sugar Loaf) is a sweet tasting cabbage unique to South Africa. It produces large, conical shaped heads and thrives in the warmer climate. Seeds can be planted all year round in seed trays and transplanted at 10cm tall. Plants are fast-growing and reliable and cabbage heads can be harvested after approximately 80 days.
Growing Cape Spitz Cabbage
- Start Cabbage Seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost in spring.
- You can also sow the seed outdoors when the soil can be worked in spring.
- Place transplants in the garden when they are 3 to 4 inches tall as early as 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost in spring.
- In cool-summer regions, plant cabbage in late spring for a fall harvest.
