• Crops in : Autumn/Winter

Description

Whilst inspecting our trials we discovered this highly frost tolerant variety, which withstood all types of weather. The large, dark blue-green savoy leaves will not discolour by frost. Because of the long standing ability of Savoy Cabbage Siberia, you will be able to enjoy the delicious sweet savoy flavour for many weeks.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds late winter to mid summer in a specially prepared seed bed or coldframe (for later winter) or for most reliable germination in seed boxes in heat 19-21C (65-70F). Sow seeds very thinly 1cm (½in) deep in 15cm (6in) wide rows.

Growing Instructions

Transplant during late spring/ early summer, into a sunny site 46x46cm (18x18in) apart.

Aftercare

The soil should be well drained, with some humus, and firm, not recently dug.
