Glory Of Enkhuizen
Glory Of Enkhuizen brings a richly satisfying, cool-sweet crunch to the garden—heads form with a dense, flat-to-slightly-rounded Dutch silhouette and a beautifully tight leaf wrap. The outer foliage is deep blue-green, while the interior promises a pale, creamy tone and a crisp, succulent texture that holds its character beautifully. Ideal for hearty winter-style cabbage uses, from robust braises and savory roasts to tangy fermented preparations and classic slaws.

Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 40°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
Start indoors early enough to size up before heat arrives, then transplant into cool weather so the heads set tightly and you get storability.
