Red Scarvita napa cabbage

I've mostly bought for sowing in the Spring, but I did try a few seeds this Fall. Germination good, vigor excellent. Outperforms the other Brassicas on all metrics so far (about 6 or 8 true leaves). However, this purchase was a bit by accident. I found this variety in the cabbage section, as I was looking for diverse Brassica oleracea stock for intraspecific hybrids. Being with the common cabages, I had assumed this variety belonged to the same species as the rest, the latin name not being displayed on the product page. Later I realized that this was not Brassica oleracea, but Brassica napa, and thus probably wouldn't cross unless I double up their chromosomes first, which I'm not really set up to do for the moment. So my only suggestion would be that you put the latin names on your product pages to avoid such confusion. Otherwise, on my short time and repetition trial (only 4 seeds on only a month or so), product looks quite promising.

The only thing I can say is that the seed sprouted. I guess that is positive.
