Cabbage Seeds - Danish Ballhead

Classic cool-season cabbage known for its tight, heavy blue-green heads and excellent storage quality.

Description

The heirloom that set the standard for storage cabbages for more than a century. Danish Ballhead forms dense, perfectly round, blue-green heads wrapped in smooth, tightly layered leaves that feel almost stone-firm to the touch. Famous for its reliability in cool climates, this variety shrugs off frost, wind, and fluctuating autumn temperatures, holding beautifully in the field long after other cabbages split.

Inside each heavy head is a crisp, pale interior with a clean, classic cabbage flavor — sweet, mild, and exceptionally versatile. Whether shredded fresh, simmered slowly, or fermented into sauerkraut, Danish Ballhead keeps its texture and character. Its exceptional keeping quality made it a favorite of homesteads and market gardens alike, storing for months without losing firmness.

A cabbage of true old-world craftsmanship: dependable, cold-tolerant, and remarkably long-lasting, proving why it remains one of the most trusted varieties ever grown.
