Product Information

Full details

The Thompson & Morgan Cabbage Savoy Cordesa F1 Hybrid is an ideal choice for home gardeners seeking a nutritious and resilient vegetable crop that can be harvested from summer through autumn. Designed for versatility and flavor, this savoy variety features densely packed, crinkled leaves rich in antioxidants and offers the unique advantage of clubroot resistance. While it provides excellent cold tolerance and an extended harvest window, gardeners should note that successful cultivation requires proper soil preparation and spacing to reach its full 40cm potential.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sowing: Start seeds indoors between March and May for early crops, or sow directly outdoors from late March onwards.
  2. Depth & Spacing: Plant seeds at a depth of 13mm (1/2 inch). When planting out, keep a distance of 30cm (12 inches) between rows to ensure adequate airflow.
  3. Positioning: Select a location that receives full sun to maximize growth speed and plant health.
  4. Soil Health: Ensure the seedbed is well-drained and nutrient-rich before transplanting.
  5. Maintenance: Regularly water your cabbages during dry spells and keep the area free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients.
