What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow a reliable, flavorful crop with Early Round Dutch Cabbage Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. A proven heirloom variety dating back to the 19th century, Early Round Dutch produces compact, round green heads prized for their mild flavor, cold tolerance, and dependable performance in both spring and fall gardens.

Heirloom Quality, Trusted for Generations:
Early Round Dutch cabbage forms tight, uniform 5–7 lb heads with crisp, tender leaves and a naturally sweet flavor. The texture holds beautifully for coleslaw, soups, stir-fries, and traditional sauerkraut, making it a favorite among home gardeners and homesteaders alike.

Why Gardeners Choose Early Round Dutch:

  • Compact, round heads – Dense 5–7 lb cabbages with crisp, mild leaves.
  • Fast-maturing – Reaches harvest in about 85 days from transplant, ideal for short seasons.
  • Cold-hardy – Tolerates cool nights and light frost, thriving in spring or fall gardens.
  • Great storage life – Firm heads keep well after harvest for extended use or preservation.

How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors in early spring or late summer once soil is workable. Transplant into full sun and fertile, well-drained soil (pH 6.0–7.0), spacing 18–24 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches wide. Keep soil evenly moist and mulch to retain water.

Reliable in Cool Climates:
This variety is known for its cold-weather resilience, producing steady yields even in northern regions with short growing seasons. Early Round Dutch is ideal for gardeners seeking heirloom cabbage seeds that combine flavor, productivity, and long-term storage potential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
