Cabbage, Farao F1
(Brassica oleracea var. capitata)
Farao F1 is an early maturing hybrid cabbage known for its compact plants, uniform heads, and dependable performance. Producing smooth, round heads with crisp leaves and mild flavor, this variety is especially valued for early harvests and consistent quality. Its manageable size and reliable growth make it well suited for intensive garden beds and small-scale production.
Key Characteristics
-
Early, Uniform Head Formation
Farao produces consistent, round cabbage heads that mature evenly. The uniform size makes harvesting predictable and ideal for fresh market and home gardens. -
Crisp Texture & Mild Flavor
Leaves are tender and crunchy with a clean, mild cabbage flavor. Excellent for fresh slaws, salads, steaming, and sautéing. -
Compact Plants for Efficient Spacing
Plants remain relatively compact while still producing solid, well-filled heads. This allows closer spacing in raised beds and intensive growing systems. -
Reliable Spring Crop
Performs best in cooler temperatures of spring and early summer. Consistent moisture and fertile soil support strong head development.
