Compact Heads and Sweet, Vivid Flavor

Red Acre Cabbage, A red heirloom prized for its stunning appearance, exceptional flavor, and reliable, high-yielding performance.

Produces round, solid, medium-sized hearts in a breathtaking deep-crimson-to-purple hue, Red Acre is the gold standard for home gardeners seeking a prolific, disease-resistant variety that is both visually striking and delicious. It is a dense, non-bulbing type with smooth, tight leaves, offering a substantial harvest without overpowering smaller garden patches. Because it forms exceptionally compact, uniform heads (typically 1.5–2kg), it is the ultimate cabbage for consistent quality and manageable preparation.

Growing Information (Australia):

• Scientific Name: Brassica oleracea var. capitata 'Red Acre'

• Sowing Season: * Temperate/Cool: Best from Late Summer through to early Autumn.

  • Subtropical/Tropical: Autumn and Winter (avoiding the peak humidity of Summer).

• Position: Full sun; prefers rich, fertile, well-drained soil (ideally on firm, non-overdigged ground).

• Sowing Depth: 5mm–1cm deep.

• Spacing: 40cm apart in rows 50cm apart. (Do not overcrowd; ensure excellent air circulation).

• Germination: 7–12 days. (Kept soil moist during this period).

• Harvest: 75–90 days from sowing. (A relatively fast-maturing type).

• Gardener’s Tip: Cabbages are heavy feeders—prepare your soil well with aged compost. As the heads begin to form, you can hill up the soil around the base to stabilize the heavy plant. Keep a eye out for signs of Cabbage White Butterfly larvae on the outermost leaves and act early if found. Cabbage White Butterfly decoys can also be effective.
