Greyhound

Greyhound Cabbage 
A reliable old favourite that never disappoints! Greyhound is an early, compact cabbage variety that produces neat, pointed hearts packed with tender, juicy leaves and a mild, sweet flavour. Quick to mature and easy to grow, it’s perfect for smaller gardens or anyone looking for an early, space-saving crop. Delicious steamed, shredded in stir-fries, or used fresh in coleslaw!

Harvest
June to November – cut when heads are firm and well-formed for the best texture and flavour.

Growing Instructions

• Spacing & Positioning: Plant 30–45cm apart in well-prepared soil, in full sun or partial shade.

• Watering: Keep well watered until established and during dry weather to prevent splitting.

• Feeding: Apply a liquid fertiliser every two weeks to encourage strong, leafy growth.

• Protection: Use fine netting to protect from cabbage white butterflies during summer.

Top Tips

• Small-Space Star: Compact habit makes Greyhound perfect for raised beds or tighter garden spaces.

• Early Harvest: Its quick growth means you can enjoy homegrown cabbages sooner than most varieties.

• Crop Rotation: Avoid planting brassicas in the same spot year after year to reduce pest and disease risk.

• Alternative Option: Try ‘Duncan’ cabbage for a similar shape but an even sweeter flavour.

• Fresh is Best: Harvest in the morning for crisp, juicy leaves at their peak.
