York cabbage is a name for a type of cabbage, not a variety. It has pointed heads rather than rounded ones. Varieties include ‘April’ for spring and ‘Greyhound’ for summer and autumn. Most garden centres and seed catalogues have these or similar.
‘April’ could be sown in late July or early August to give plnats for planting in September. Seeds of ‘Greyhound’ for plants for spring planting could be sown in late December or January in a tunnel and planted out in late March or April.
