Sweet, crinkled, mild and tender leaves form tightly wrapped drumhead type hearts. Savoy Perfection is a short stemmed heirloom variety that in optimum conditions can weigh in at 3kg but is generally a little smaller than this. Perfect for eating fresh or cooked, from a harvest starting in late summer. Price for 20 seeds.
SOW & GROW: from March to May, starting in pots or modules at 10-15mm deep and planting out when large enough to handle after hardening off. Space at 30-40cm apart. Ready to harvest from August
EAT: a perfect choice for eating fresh in slaw or salad or indeed for cooking. These can be stored in a frost-free place for a number of weeks (just keep an eye on them) but this variety will freeze well & be ready to use as needed.
