Fast Vantage matures quickly, resulting in 2-lb. (1-kg), medium green heads up to 6 weeks earlier than other cabbage varieties. Try this early-season, uniform cabbage for sauerkraut and cole slaw. Cabbages can take some heat, but they love the cold, which means that you can have a cabbage or two gracing the garden in Spring and Fall, as well as Summer.
