Tops for Coleslaw -- and Such Plate Appeal!
Cabbage Deadon Hybrid
Outer leaves are rich pinkish-purple dusted with gray, while the interior is green.
The bite is peppery and very sweet.
105 days from setting out transplants. Irresistible in the garden or on the plate, this new January King-type cabbage offers medium to fine savoyed leaves of purplish-charcoal toward the exterior, pale green toward the core. The gorgeous color makes it a great choice for ornamental use, while the peppery-sweet bite makes it a favorite for eating.
Considered the very best for coleslaw, Deadon Hybrid sets medium to large heads on thoroughly dependable, very heavy-yielding plants. The pinkish-purplish-grayish outermost leaves are good for garnish and for garden appeal, while the innermost green leaves are crisp, strongly sweet with a spicy nip, and very tightly packed.
A good choice for ornamental use as well as great eating, Deadon Hybrid may just become your favorite cabbage! Packet is 50 seeds.
