Grow Baby Red Omero for compact, dark red cabbage heads with a naturally sweet flavour, even when garden space is limited.
Grow Guide: How to grow Baby Red cabbage from seed in South Africa.

Why Grow This Variety
- Deep red heads bring striking colour to both the vegetable garden and the plate.
- The naturally sweet taste adds flavour to fresh home-grown meals.
- Its compact growth form suits small gardens, urban spaces and balconies.
Garden Uses
Use the colourful heads in fresh salads, side dishes and hearty stir-fries.
Growing Notes
- Use the cool-season window for your South African region rather than a blanket national year-round promise.
- Sow 4 mm deep, keep evenly moist and give seedlings bright light after emergence.
- Space plants 25 x 25 cm for the compact baby-head outcome shown on the current packet.
- Harvest by firmness rather than a guaranteed day count; the packet and public breeder timing use different figures and start points.
- Raw describes seed form, not treatment status. Check the packet received and do not use seed for sprouting unless it explicitly permits food-sprouting use.
