Cornalyn Savoy cabbage is a vigorous, late variety, with compact, round heads and green, blistered leaves, and a growing cycle of over three months.
Its botanical name is Brassica oleracea var. sabauda, belonging to the Cruciferae family (Brassicaceae). The leaves have the typical crinkled, blistered appearance with clearly visible veins, forming a compact, round head.
Being a late variety with a cycle of over three months, sowing generally takes place in a seedbed with subsequent transplanting into the open field after around 30-40 days.
A water-demanding plant, it adapts well to cool climates. Drip irrigation with low, repeated volumes is the best system, especially in the stages following transplanting.
Given the long growing cycle, pay attention to crop rotation with non-Brassicaceae crops, to avoid depleting the soil and reduce disease risk.
Like other Brassicaceae, it can be affected by cabbage white caterpillars and aphids. Good airflow between plants helps prevent the main fungal diseases.
Savoy cabbage is known for its therapeutic properties and can also be eaten raw; in the kitchen it is mostly used to prepare soups, stews, or to wrap other dishes in its leaves.
