Bring a time-tested classic back to your home garden with Jersey Wakefield Cabbage Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This historic heirloom—first introduced in the 1840s—remains a gardener favorite for its distinctive pointed heads, sweet flavor, and dependable early harvests. Compact yet productive, it’s ideal for small gardens, raised beds, and anyone seeking a traditional, reliable cabbage variety.
Distinctive, Early-Maturing Heirloom:
Jersey Wakefield forms cone-shaped, tight green heads weighing 3–5 lbs with a small core and tender, crisp leaves. Its naturally protective wrapper leaves shield the crop, making it a durable performer even in variable weather. With a maturity of about 70 days from transplant, it’s one of the earliest cabbages to harvest—perfect for gardeners who value quick, steady results.
Why Gardeners Love Jersey Wakefield:
- Unique pointed heads – Compact and space-efficient, great for raised beds.
- Sweet, mild flavor – Delicious raw in slaws or cooked in soups, stir-fries, and cabbage rolls.
- Early harvest – Ready in about 70 days, producing tender leaves before most varieties.
- Cold-hardy and adaptable – Performs well in cool northern climates and can overwinter where winters are mild.
How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date, then transplant seedlings to full sun in rich, well-drained soil. Space plants 18–24 inches apart in rows 24–36 inches wide, keeping soil evenly moist and mulched to retain water. Jersey Wakefield thrives in cool conditions and is well-suited for both spring and fall plantings.
Culinary Versatility:
This variety’s sweet, tender leaves are excellent for slaws, salads, wraps, soups, and traditional cabbage rolls. Its refined flavor and crisp texture make it a versatile choice for both raw and cooked dishes.

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.
