Brassica oleracea var. capitata, better known as white cabbage, is one of the most versatile and traditional vegetables in the home garden. The Polar variety is a robust, early-harvesting variety known for its compact heads, firm texture, and mild flavor. This cabbage is ideal for gardeners who want quick results, but also for those who value a reliable yield and long-lasting freshness.
The Polar forms medium-sized, round to slightly flat heads with firm, tightly packed leaves. The variety is known for its even growth and uniform size, making it easy to harvest and process.
Because of its early maturity—typically within 70 to 90 days from sowing—Polar is ideal for early summer harvests, but can also be used in crop rotation for a late autumn harvest. Its compact growth also allows for closer planting, resulting in a high yield per square meter.
Growing Brassica oleracea (White cabbage) Polar is easy and suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners. Sow the seeds from March to May in seed trays or seed trays. Plant out the young cabbage plants once they have 4–5 true leaves, spacing them about 45–50 cm apart.
Polar grows best in a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering promotes the development of firm heads and prevents cracking. A layer of mulch helps retain moisture and promotes healthy soil.
This variety is relatively resistant to common cabbage diseases, such as Fusarium and black cabbage rot, making cultivation more reliable and easier to maintain.
The Polar is known for its mild, fresh flavor and firm texture. It's exceptionally versatile in the kitchen:
Fresh: finely chopped in salads or coleslaw.
Stewed or boiled: ideal for stews, casseroles and stews.
Fermented: suitable for small quantities of sauerkraut or other fermented dishes.
The leaves are crunchy and retain their texture well when boiled or steamed. Polar is also rich in vitamins C, K, and fiber, and contains antioxidants that contribute to healthy digestion and a strong immune system.
Brassica oleracea Polar offers gardeners a reliable, fast harvest and compact, uniform growth. Its early ripening and robust heads make it ideal for small gardens, raised beds, or professional crops with short growing cycles.
The cabbage is also resistant to changing weather conditions and has a low risk of cracking, making it suitable for long-term storage and transport. This makes Polar an excellent choice for home gardeners, small farmers, and market producers alike.
