Merlot F1 Chinese Cabbage seeds

Merlot Chinese cabbage is truly striking with its dense, compact heads boasting deep purple leaves and thick, succulent white stalks—a visually appealing and delicious addition to any garden. The Merlot F1 variety matures earlier than many others, producing cabbage heads that can reach up to 1 foot in length. As a Napa-type cabbage, it excels in both early spring and fall gardens.
 
The stunning purple leaves lend themselves to creating eye-catching kimchi, stir-fries, and Asian-inspired slaws and salads. Notably, the flavor is subtly nuanced, avoiding the overpowering taste of Western cabbage varieties, making it a versatile vegetable for various culinary applications. The robust, sturdy leaves of Merlot Chinese cabbage hold up exceptionally well to sauces and pickling, making it a favored choice in Germany for sauerkraut and a popular pick for coleslaw in the U.S. The larger leaves also prove sturdy enough to embrace your favorite fillings for cabbage rolls.
