Brassica oleracea (flat cabbage) Felicity F1 – flavorful variety of white cabbage

Brassica oleracea 'Felicity F1' is a special and flavorful variety of white cabbage, also known as flat cabbage or “Türkenkohl”. This distinctive cabbage variety combines a unique shape with a soft texture and refined taste, often leading to it being described as a true delicacy among cabbages. Felicity F1 is ideal for those looking for a versatile cabbage that fits perfectly in both fresh dishes and warm meals.

Felicity F1 clearly distinguishes itself from traditional round white cabbage. The heads are flat in shape and have a loose, tender leaf structure. This results in a softer bite and a milder, aromatic flavor that is less sharp than classic white cabbage.

Due to these characteristics, this cabbage is often referred to as gourmet cabbage or aromatic cabbage. The flavor comes into its own particularly well in raw vegetable dishes.

Ideal for salads and versatile use

Thanks to its soft texture, Felicity F1 is particularly suitable for:

• Fresh coleslaw
• Raw vegetable dishes
• Light stir-fry dishes
• Traditional cabbage dishes

The leaves are easy to cut and retain their structure, ensuring a pleasant texture in any dish. Even when heated, the flavor remains mild and refined.

Growth and yield

Felicity F1 is a mid-early variety that requires approximately 75 days from planting to harvest. The cabbage is suitable for cultivation in both summer and autumn and provides a reliable, high-quality yield.

Depending on the planting distance, heads develop weighing approximately 1.5 to 2.5 kg. This makes the cabbage ideal for both domestic use and sale.

Harvest period

The harvest takes place from September through November. During this period, the heads are firm, well-formed, and at their best in terms of taste and texture. Thanks to the staggered harvest, you can enjoy fresh cabbage from your own garden for several weeks.

Cultivation and sowing

Pre-cultivation is recommended for successful cultivation. The sowing period runs from mid-March to early May. By growing the plants first, you give them a strong start.

After propagation, the young plants can be planted in the open ground. Maintain a planting distance of 45 x 40 cm to 50 x 50 cm. More space results in larger heads, while a smaller distance leads to slightly more compact heads.

A sunny location and well-draining soil contribute to optimal growth.

Nutrition and care

Like other white cabbage varieties, Felicity F1 is a heavy feeder (starkzehrers). This means that the plant requires nutritious, well-fertilized soil. Adding compost or organic fertilizer is essential for healthy development.

Watering regularly, especially during dry periods, helps prevent stress and ensures even growth. With proper care, the cabbage develops firm and flavorful heads.
