Growing

Savoy cabbage grows best in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a slightly alkaline pH. It needs full sun and even moisture. Sow in spring; the plants should be spaced adequately (about 60 cm). Regular watering and mulching promote growth. It is hardy and can be harvested from autumn to spring.
