Brassica oleracea var. capitata 'Copenhagen Market 2'
Traditional early white cabbage with firm, round heads and crisp, mild-flavoured leaves

Brassica oleracea var. capitata 'Copenhagen Market 2' is a traditional early white cabbage variety producing attractive, round, firm and tightly packed heads surrounded by fresh blue-green outer leaves. Its crisp, tender foliage has a pleasantly mild cabbage flavour, making it an excellent choice for fresh summer vegetables.

Valued for its relatively quick development, Copenhagen Market 2 is ideal for kitchen gardens, allotments and raised vegetable beds. Under suitable growing conditions, mature heads may reach approximately 0.8–2.5 kg. The tender leaves are delicious in homemade coleslaw, crunchy salads, soups, stir-fries and steamed dishes, while succession sowings can help extend the summer harvest.

Expert Growing Tips

● Prepare fertile soil before planting and firm it well, as cabbages develop best in firm ground.

● Keep plants consistently watered during dry spells, particularly as the heads begin to form and swell.

● Make succession sowings during spring to spread the summer harvest rather than cutting every head at once.

● Protect young plants from cabbage root fly and check foliage regularly for caterpillars, slugs and snails.

● Harvest when the heads feel firm and solid; Copenhagen Market 2 is best enjoyed fresh rather than kept for long-term winter storage.
