This hardy, attractive and resilient savoy cabbage takes centre stage in the garden with its lush, dark green leaves. When it comes to using savoy cabbage in cooking, the only limit is your imagination – try eating it fried in butter or au gratin with parmesan! Savoy cabbage also offers an almost endless growing season. In spring you can sow it indoors, or in a greenhouse in a trough or plug flat. It is time to transplant it when two pairs of leaves have developed, and fertilise it with e.g. liquid plant food. Your seedlings are ready for planting out once the soil is warm. If you want a harvest of small leaves in autumn, you can also sow it in summer. Sow several seeds in the same pot and then plant out at the growing site. In summer, you may also need to protect your plants from infestation – so protect them by covering them carefully with netting. Sowing can also continue into autumn. In this case, sow densely in a greenhouse, in a soil bed or in a pot in early autumn. Don’t forget to cover with fibre cloth for an extra long harvest period! Did you know that you can also plant savoy cabbage in winter? Sow the plant in a trough, for example, and moisten with water or snow. Then leave covered outdoors, in a greenhouse or pallet collar with lid or similar. Your plants will germinate in early spring!
