Savoy Iron Head [Brassica oleracea convar. capitata]

The savoy iron head is an old, early and proven variety that is ready to harvest after eight to ten weeks. The early variety with striking light green, tender leaves is the first savoy variety to be harvested in the year. The taste is slightly milder than late varieties. Large, medium-green heads weigh an average of 2.5 kg.

Savoy is a heavy feeder and thrives best on humus-rich, sandy loamy soil with a high lime content. The location should be sunny to semi-shady.
