Savoy cabbage is a round and compact variety of cabbage that is named after the House of Savoy. These cabbages feature beautifully crinkled, dark green leaves that form a compact, round head. Known for its mild, sweet flavour and tender texture, Savoy Cabbage is perfect for a variety of recipes, from fresh salads and stir-fries to hearty soups and stews. Each head can grow to a medium size, making it a versatile addition to your garden and kitchen. Grow this variety of cabbage around mint and thyme, sage, and oregano herb plants to keep the unwanted pests away.
Growing guide for Savoy Cabbage Seeds
Planting instructions
Plant Savoy Cabbage seeds in well-drained, fertile soil. Space the seeds about 30-45 cm apart to give each plant room to grow. Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged to promote healthy root development.
Growing Requirements
pests & diseases
Keep an eye out for common pests such as aphids and cabbage worms. Regularly inspect the plants and use organic insecticides or natural predators to keep these pests under control. Good garden hygiene and crop rotation can help prevent diseases like clubroot and downy mildew.
soil
Savoy Cabbage thrives in rich, well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. Incorporate plenty of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to improve soil fertility and structure.
spot
Choose a sunny spot in your garden for planting Savoy Cabbage. While it can tolerate partial shade, full sunlight ensures the best growth and flavour development.
temperature
Savoy Cabbage grows best in cooler temperatures, ideally between 15-20°C. It is frost-tolerant, making it suitable for early spring and late autumn planting.
watering
Water your Savoy Cabbage regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Mulching around the base of the plants can help retain soil moisture.
how to harvest
Harvest Savoy Cabbage heads when they are firm and well-formed. Cut the head at the base, leaving the outer leaves intact to protect the developing head. Use freshly harvested cabbage in salads, soups, and stir-fries for the best taste and nutritional value.
