Growers today want cabbage varieties that don’t just look good in trials, they need hybrids that deliver season after season, across regions, and under real production pressure. Three standouts continue to rise above the rest for their consistency, demand, and proven field performance: Roadie, Bourbon, and Taurus.
Roadie, the red rhat moves
Roadie remains one of the most reliable red cabbages on the market. It’s one of the few reds with true, sustained demand, backed by steady orders from key dealers and producers, and more. Growers trust Roadie because it performs predictably, holds well, and delivers the uniformity and color the market expects. When you need a red that sells, Roadie is the dependable choice.
Bourbon: early, clean, and built for Northern success
In northern markets, Bourbon continues to shine. Its early maturity, clean frame, and uniform head shape make it a favorite for growers who want a reliable early‑season green. Bourbon fits tight planting windows, handles variable spring conditions, and consistently produces a marketable packout. It’s a practical, profitable option for growers who want a strong start to their season.
Taurus: the Southern powerhouse
For southern growers, Taurus has become a go‑to green cabbage. Known for its size, vigor, and heat tolerance, Taurus brings the field presence and yield potential that high‑heat regions demand. It stands up to tough conditions, fills out beautifully, and delivers the tonnage growers rely on for strong returns. Taurus is a proven performer where it matters most.
Focusing on Roadie, Bourbon, and Taurus gives growers a clear, confident lineup: one standout red and two powerhouse greens that consistently deliver results. These varieties have earned their place through real‑world performance, strong dealer demand, and repeat success across multiple regions. They represent dependable, profitable opportunities for growers looking to plant with confidence and harvest with certainty.
