Brassica oleracea 'Matterhorn F1' is a special pointed cabbage variety in the red cabbage category, which excels in its rapid growth, uniform heads, and excellent suitability for raw consumption. This modern F1 hybrid combines the benefits of pointed cabbage – such as a soft texture and mild flavor – with the rich color and nutritional value of red cabbage. This makes Matterhorn F1 an ideal choice for the modern vegetable garden.
Matterhorn F1 is a pointed red cabbage that distinguishes itself from traditional round red cabbage by its elongated shape and finer leaf structure. The leaves are softer and less coarse, resulting in a pleasant bite and a milder flavor.
Thanks to these characteristics, this cabbage is particularly suitable for raw salads. The combination of a fresh, slightly sweet taste and a crunchy texture makes it ideal for modern and healthy dishes.
With a development time of only about 80 days after transplanting, Matterhorn F1 is one of the faster-growing cabbage varieties. This makes it attractive to gardeners who want to see quick results.
The plants form uniform heads weighing between 1 and 2 kilograms. This uniform growth ensures consistent quality and makes the variety suitable for both personal use and sale.
The harvest of Matterhorn F1 runs from late July through October. Due to the relatively short growing season and the broad sowing period, you can plan flexibly and potentially realize multiple crops per season.
The heads can be harvested as soon as they feel firm and have reached their characteristic shape.
Pre-cultivation is recommended for successful cultivation. The sowing period runs from February to June, at an ideal germination temperature of 15–20 °C.
After propagation, the young plants are planted out in the open ground. Maintain a planting distance of approximately 45 x 40 cm. This provides sufficient space for the development of compact and well-formed heads.
A sunny location and well-draining soil contribute to optimal growth and yield.
Like all red cabbage varieties, Matterhorn F1 is a heavy feeder (starkzehrers). This means that the plant requires nutritious soil rich in organic matter.
The use of compost or organic fertilizer is highly recommended. Regular watering, especially during dry periods, helps maintain even growth and prevents loss of quality.
With proper care, this variety develops into a strong and productive plant.
Matterhorn F1 is exceptionally versatile, but truly comes into its own in raw applications. Some popular uses include:
The deep purple color ensures an attractive presentation, while the soft texture enhances eating comfort.
With the Matterhorn F1 pointed cabbage (red cabbage), you choose a modern, flavorful, and versatile variety that perfectly meets the demand for healthy and fresh vegetables. An excellent choice for anyone who wants to enjoy a quick harvest and a refined taste from their own garden.
