Burgundy
75d to harvest
Sink your senses into Burgundy’s richly colored heads—deep wine-red to near-burgundy tones that look almost lacquered in the garden. At maturity, the cabbage forms a dense, tightly layered globe with crisp, finely textured leaves that hold their character beautifully for bold, vibrant red color in your favorite preparations. Grow Burgundy for a steadfast 75-day season and a striking centerpiece harvest that brings color and crunch to every plate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I water Burgundy during the main growing phase to keep growth steady?
During the main growth phase, keep soil evenly moist but not soggy—aim for about 1 inch of water per week, delivered in 1–2 sessions. Let the top 1 inch of soil dry slightly between waterings, especially in warm weather, to prevent rot and disease. Mulch helps stabilize moisture, but don’t pile it against stems.
How do I tell when Burgundy is ready to harvest?
Harvest at about 75 days after sowing when heads/fruit are fully sized and color is true to Burgundy (deep, even coloration). Check maturity by gently lifting or examining: the crop should feel firm and well-developed, not soft or hollow. If you wait too long, quality drops—harvest promptly once it reaches the expected size.
