Late Flat Dutch Cabbage seeds produce a large flat-headed storage cabbage suited to fall harvest, kraut, slaw, and winter keeping.
Late Flat Dutch Cabbage performs best when the crop is timed for cool weather, established in fertile, well-drained soil, and kept growing without drought checks. The practical work is simple but not careless: sow at the proper depth, thin on time, water the root zone, inspect the undersides of leaves, and harvest before quality slips.
Large gardens, storage, sauerkraut, and fall harvest are where this variety earns its place. The expected flavor is dense, sweet, robust cabbage flavor, with large flat head and maturity about 95-110 days from transplant. This is not a decorative catalog promise. It is a crop that responds to soil, temperature, spacing, and the discipline of regular harvest.
Late Flat Dutch belongs to a long lineage of European and American storage cabbages. Multiple strains have circulated under the name.
Minimum Seed Count: 300 seeds
Additional variety overview
Late Flat Dutch Cabbage seeds give gardeners a large flat-headed storage cabbage suited to fall harvest, kraut, slaw, and winter keeping. The variety belongs in a cool-season plan built around steady moisture, clean airflow, and harvest before heat or stress steals quality. In our seed room, we treat the packet as the beginning of a record: lot, sowing date, soil temperature, emergence, and the field notes that tell us what the variety actually did.Late Flat Dutch Cabbage is best suited to large gardens, storage, sauerkraut, and fall harvest. Sow with the crop, not the calendar alone. Cool-season seed can sit in dry crusted soil or rush into weak growth when a warm spell arrives. A fine seedbed, even moisture, and prompt thinning matter more than ornamental fussing.
Flavor and texture are strongest when growth is uninterrupted. Harvest at the stage the variety was bred to give, then leave representative plants only when you intend to save seed. Late Flat Dutch belongs to a long lineage of European and American storage cabbages. Multiple strains have circulated under the name.
