Primehead cabbages are reknowned for their visual appeal and crunchy texture, when compared to standard types.

They are best grown at closer spacings than other late heading cabbage, allowing for their more compact size and habit.  Varieties listed are suitable for successive plantings to cover the harvest period August - January.
