Grow vibrant, nutritious cabbages with Red Acre Cabbage Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This dependable heirloom purple cabbage variety is loved by gardeners for its compact size, early maturity, and cold-hardy performance—ideal for smaller garden spaces, raised beds, or homestead food production.
Compact, Reliable & Beautifully Colorful:
Red Acre forms tight, round heads averaging 2–4 pounds with crisp, deep purple leaves. Its sweet, mild flavor and tender texture make it perfect for coleslaw, stir-fries, sauerkraut, and fresh salads, while the colorful heads bring visual appeal to both the garden and the dinner table.
Why Gardeners Choose Red Acre:
- Early harvests (75–90 days) – Produces mature heads faster than many other varieties.
- Compact growth habit – Fits easily in raised beds, containers, or small garden plots.
- Cold-hardy and dependable – Thrives in cool spring or fall weather and tolerates light frost.
- Excellent storage life – Keeps well after harvest for long-term food preservation.
- Nutrient-rich – High in vitamins A, C, and K, plus antioxidants for healthy meals.
How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct sow outdoors in early spring once the soil is workable. Transplant to full sun in fertile, well-drained soil (pH 6.0–7.0), spacing plants 18–24 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches wide. Keep soil evenly moist and mulch to retain water. Expect compact, firm heads ready for harvest within 75–90 days.
Versatile & Resilient Crop:
Red Acre cabbage grows reliably across USDA Zones 2–11, performing well in both spring and fall plantings. Its cold tolerance and long storage life make it a practical addition for gardeners focused on self-reliance, sustainable living, and seasonal food security
