Organic ‘Copenhagen’ headed cabbage is an old variety that perfectly embodies the reliability of great garden classics. With its round, dense, and uniform heads, it offers a harvest that is as beautiful as it is abundant, much appreciated for its consistency and ease of cultivation. Its compact and low habit allows it to stand well in the garden, even in more restricted spaces, while producing heavy, firm heads. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor makes it particularly pleasant in the kitchen, whether raw, stewed, or fermented. Hardy and suitable for family gardens, it grows confidently in rich, cool soil, where regular watering promotes the formation of tightly packed heads. If some plants are left in place until their second year, their yellow flowers attract many pollinators and contribute to the vitality of the garden. This open-pollinated variety also has significant heritage value, reminiscent of market garden cultivars selected for their yield and taste. To cultivate ‘Copenhagen’ is to choose a generous, stable, and flavorful cabbage that connects today’s garden to yesterday’s nourishing traditions.
