Notes
Earliest of All cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Earliest of All (Red)') is a vegetable for borders and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It has an erect habit and grows at a moderate pace. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Potato, Dill, and Celeriac.
