About this plant
‘Bilko’ is a standout Napa cabbage known for producing large, 12-inch football-shaped heads with overlapping golden-green leaves and a mild, sweet flavor. This variety is slow to bolt and offers excellent disease resistance, making it a reliable choice for home gardeners.
The tender, crisp leaves are incredibly versatile—delicious fresh in salads, cooked or braised, and ideal for kimchi, stir-fries, and soups. Its shape and texture also make it a great substitute for lettuce or traditional cabbage in many dishes.
