WR 70 Days is an early-maturing napa cabbage hybrid bred for dependability where other Chinese cabbage varieties struggle. Reaching maturity in just 70-79 days, this medium-green variety produces substantial heads weighing over 5 pounds, making it both a practical and rewarding choice for cool-season gardens across zones 2-10. Its wide adaptability, combined with good cold tolerance and slow bolting habit, means you can grow it where finicky napas refuse to perform. Packed with vitamin A, potassium, and folic acid, it delivers genuine nutrition alongside reliable harvests.

This hybrid was developed specifically for gardeners facing challenging growing conditions where standard napa varieties falter. The combination of early maturity, cold hardiness, and resistance to bolting creates a variety that rewards patient growers with consistently large heads. Medium heat tolerance rounds out its adaptability, making WR 70 Days surprisingly forgiving across diverse climates. The nutrient density of the mature heads, loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, adds genuine value to the garden beyond mere yield.
WR 70 Days works beautifully in any application where napa cabbage shines. The large, substantial heads are excellent for slicing into stir-fries, fermenting into kimchi, or braising whole. The tender inner leaves are mild enough for fresh salads when harvested young, while mature heads store well enough for extended kitchen use through the cooler months.

Harvest WR 70 Days at 70-79 days after planting. The heads are ready when they feel firm and dense when gently squeezed, with the characteristic pale green outer leaves and lighter interior typical of napa cabbage. Cut heads at soil level with a sharp knife. For extended harvest potential, you can cut outer leaves progressively while allowing the head to continue developing, though most growers harvest the entire head once it reaches full size and firmness.
