Savoy Cabbage – 12 Seedlings

Savoy Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. sabauda), known in Italian as Cavolo Verza, is a popular leafy vegetable recognised for its beautifully crinkled, deep green leaves and compact, rounded heads. Its tender texture and mild, slightly sweet flavour make it an excellent choice for home vegetable gardens.

Perfect for soups, stews, stir-fries, stuffed cabbage rolls and traditional Mediterranean dishes, Savoy Cabbage is a versatile and nutritious vegetable. It grows particularly well during Malta’s cooler months and develops tender, flavourful leaves.

🌱 Soil: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter.

🌡️ Temperature: Grows best between 10°C–20°C. Tolerates cool winter conditions and benefits from Malta’s mild winters.
