Just doing my planning for the coming season: are there any red spring cabbages?  If not, which are the best red varieties for winter harvest that stand well, that I could be harvesting this time next year? Thanks x

I've only seen varieties for Autumn harvest - I still have a few that I cut, just before Christmas, and stored in the shed. The outsides go gungy but the hearts are still ok for salads  Mind you it has been mild this year.

They're Red Flare.

I use Red Drumhead.  According to the packet it is an Autumn cabbage but I always leave a few in over winter and they have always been fine until the spring.  In fact some years I have sown a few quite late in the summer such that they were still small over winter and they sit outside OK until spring becoming hugh red cabbages by the following summer!
