Cabbage (red Kilmaro) OG - live plant
Annual Vegetable
Brassica oleracea
Full Sun. Well drained and fertile soil. 5-8" diameter heads.
The seeds to start these plants came from Fedco
" Reminiscent of a rhodolite garnet, dark reddish-purple and solid as a polished gemstone. With a small core and dense head, Klimaro stores very well and has excellent cold tolerance, withstanding temps in the low 20s. The round heads grow high on tall plants, making them easy to harvest. In taste trials we found Klimaro to have a good flavor and a high crunch factor."
At Meeting House Farm we grow these cabbages for decoration as much as for eating. Our kitchen garden walk ways are lined with these cabbages and calendula. As a side note - we still have these in our fridge in February as we are writing out this description. They store well.
Our Red Cabbage plants are available in 6 packs. Available for pick up only.
Harvest after 80 days.

Organic / Biodynamic Information
All live seedlings, bare roots and gallon-sized plants are certified organic by MOFGA and grown biodynamically from seed at Meeting House Herb Farm in Scarborough, Maine.
A Note about Plant Sizes
This picture shows the plant full grown.
If you are picking up Seedlings, know that they are quite small - just started and will need some care to establish. We've raised them from seed, and made sure they are adjusted to 24/7 outdoor weather, so it will be the perfect time and size to take home and plant in your own garden to arrange in harmony with your other plants.
If you order bare root, they will be just breaking dormancy and will need to be planted as soon as possible. These will be 1 year plants. Give them a year to fully establish in their new home.
If you are picking up Gallon sized pots, they are 1-3 year old plants dug from our gardens at Meeting House Farm.
