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

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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.
