FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Cordesa F1 Hybrid?
It is the first Savoy cabbage variety that offers built-in resistance to clubroot, a common soil-borne disease.
Can I leave these cabbages in the ground during winter?
They are hardy enough to withstand autumn weather and frost, allowing you to harvest them as needed throughout the season.
What is the ideal spacing for planting?
You should maintain a distance of 30cm (12 inches) between rows to give each plant enough room to reach its 40cm spread.
When is the best time to sow these seeds?
Sow indoors from March to May, or directly outdoors from late March once the soil has warmed up.
How deep should I sow the seeds?
Seeds should be sown at a depth of 13mm (1/2 inch).
Troubleshooting
Poor germination rate
Ensure the planting depth is exactly 13mm and maintain consistent moisture in the seedbed without waterlogging.
Plants failing to form dense heads
Verify that the plants are in a position receiving full sun; insufficient light often leads to leggy growth rather than dense cabbage heads.
