The Red Acre cabbage is a tightly packed plant on a short stem. Its head is a reddish-purple and is resistant to cabbage yellow disease. The head grows up to 7″ across and weighs 3 lbs. Wonderful to add color to traditional coleslaw.

Love this cabbage, though I have to work on my timing. By the time it's headed in the past, it's very hot outside and it makes it quite a bit more spicy than I like. My fall cabbage comes out great, however.
Red Acre Cabbage
Can't wait for 2026.
My husband and I enjoy making sauerkraut with the red cabbage as well as the green, and we are looking forward to enjoying this together!
I love red cabbage, can't wait for new upcoming season
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
