Savoy cabbages have crisp, juicy crinkled leaves and solid hearts, and are typically grown as a winter staple when little else will grow.
Brassica oleracea capitata group 'January King' is the hardiest of winter cabbages, surviving all but the harshest winters. It forms heavy, densely packed heads of purple-green leaves with a strong, earthy flavour.
For best results grow Brassica oleracea capitata group 'January King' in well-prepared soil in full sun. Net plants to protect from butterflies and pigeons.
