Notes
'Savoy King' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Savoy King') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and specimen planting. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its upright form and moderate growth fit neatly into a mixed bed. Bees and butterflies visit it, and it is salt tolerant.
Pairs well with Bull's Blood beet, Genovese basil, and Black Cherry tomato.
