DESCRIPTION

‘Amarant’ is an early red cabbage that stays compact thanks to its very short stem, while forming round, medium-sized heads with a fine, balanced flavour. It’s an excellent choice for gardeners who want red cabbage earlier in the season without sacrificing eating quality.

A key advantage is flexibility: adjust planting density to suit your goal—grow tighter for smaller, uniform heads, or give more room for larger heads and processing.
