Planting & Growth Tips:
Growing Savoy Perfection Cabbage is rewarding, yielding stunning heads that are both beautiful and delicious. Follow these tips for successful cultivation:
- Planting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost for spring planting, or sow directly in late summer for a fall harvest. Transplant seedlings into the garden when they are 4-6 weeks old, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart in rows spaced 30-36 inches apart.
- Soil: Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Maintain a pH between 6.0-7.0 for optimal growth.
- Sunlight: Provide full sun exposure for vigorous growth and proper head development.
- Watering: Water consistently, especially during head formation, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Mulching around the plants helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.
- Care: This cold-tolerant variety thrives in cooler conditions and is resistant to light frost, making it ideal for late-season planting. Monitor for pests like cabbage loopers and aphids, and use organic pest control methods as needed.
- Harvesting: Harvest heads when they are firm, dense, and reach their mature size of 4-6 pounds. Store in a cool, dry place for extended freshness.
