70 days — 'Igloo' is a late season variety that is excellent fresh, but was developed for freezing or processing. Its heads are heavy, bright white, about seven inches across, and protected from sun and frost by its dense, upright foliage, also known as the "wrapper leaves."
'Igloo' was bred and introduced sometime prior to the 1980s by the now defunct seed company, Sunseeds.[1] Each packet contains 1 gram, which is approximately 200 seeds.
