China Express Hybrid Cabbage F1
Be sure to check out our Cabbage Growing Guide for more tips & tricks on successfully growing cabbage! China Express Cabbage is a hybrid, Napa-type cabbage variety. This is the earliest-maturing, full-size Napa cabbage variety we offer. China Express is widely adapted and performs well in any growing zone. This Napa cabbage variety produces large, barrel-shaped heads that average 10-12" in diameter and 4 to 5 lbs. Plants are slow to bolt and heads hold well in the field for a longer harvesting window. The leaves are crisp and glossy, making it a great choice for raw or cooked preparations. Use it as a replacement for lettuce in your favorite salad, or combine it with other garden vegetables to make the best stir-fry. Cabbage will grow best in areas where weeds are kept to a minimum. It is moderately frost-tolerant and performs better when planted in cooler weather. Cabbage will tend to bolt in warmer temperatures. Plant cabbage early in spring for a late spring/early summer harvest
