Notes

'Harvester Queen' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Harvester Queen') is a vegetable for food gardens and borders. 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 is salt tolerant, and its blooms attract butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Scallion green onion, Amish Paste tomato, and Kent Beauty oregano.
