I've grown Spring Hero F1 (ballhead cabbage) and Winter Jewel F1 (spring greens), both great varieties. There are some good overwintering pointed types too like Duncan and April, though I've not tried them. Sow them now and plant them out in October. They'll take a battering and look awful over winter but as the days get longer in February they grow quickly. Spring Hero will form a good heart by April but you can eat both as loose greens. Slugs absolutely love munching their way in to cabbage heads so maybe loose leaf is better anyway.

Not sure if it would work with any cabbage, they have to be winter hardy.
