Notes
'Sauerkraut King' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Sauerkraut King') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and specimen plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Red Sails lettuce, Navy bean, Lemon balm, and Six Hills Giant nepeta.
