Extra tips or info: Red Acre Cabbage prefers cooler temperatures and is best planted in early spring or in the fall. They prefer full or partial sun, although they can be grown indoors under good grow lights and big planters or by a bright windowsill with slower growth and smaller harvest yields.
These seeds are for the 2021 growing season.
