Early Round Dutch Cabbage is a favored variety known for its compact, dense heads and early maturity. This cabbage type is excellent for fresh eating, cooking, or preserving. It thrives in full sun, prefers well-drained fertile soil, and can be planted for both spring and fall harvests. Its heads weigh between 4-5 pounds, making it a versatile choice for gardens across various climates.


The history and origin of Early Round Dutch Cabbage trace back to the late 1800s. Introduced as a variety tolerant to heat and slow to bolt, it quickly became popular in southern gardens but also performs well in northern regions. This cabbage variety is part of a broader lineage where round-headed cabbages were among the first types described in the 16th century, with significant developments in cabbage cultivation occurring in Germany, France, and the Low Countries. The term "Dutch" in its name suggests its popularity or perhaps some improvement in the Netherlands, although specific origins might intertwine with broader European cabbage cultivation history.
