Cabbage, Savoy Vorbote 3/Hilmar
Brassica oleracea var. capitata
Approx. 250-350 seeds per gram
Cabbage has been cultivated for hundreds of years. The headed cabbage with a dense, closely packed heart comes in many different varieties.
They can be sown at three distinct times of the year so we sub-divide them into Spring, Summer/Autumn, and Autumn/Winter varieties. Combined with their long standing and hardiness we crop cabbage in the garden almost all year round. Cabbages are either round or pointed and come in two colours: green or red.
There is also some variation in leaf texture. Most are smooth but the Savoy types have a blistered texture.

Vorbote 3/Hilmar is a unique savoy cabbage which has been bred for early cropping. It has slightly pointed, deep-green heads and a fine taste. It is usually grown in the same way as a summer cabbage for harvest from May onwards but can also be sown later for a winter harvest.
