Cabbage 'January King 3' (Winter Savoy)Brassica oleracea (Capitata Group) This is a really hardy winter cabbage - not even severe frost seems to bother it. The heads of Savoy Cabbage ‘January King’ are crisp and crunchy with a good flavour, and the leaf is an attractive conifer-blue colour. Height: 40cm (16”). Spread: 60cm (24”).Andrew Tokely says: "This variety may have been around for a few years but I don't think it can be beaten for flavour and its ability to stand well during some of the harshest of winters." Companion planting: Try growing cabbages with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles. Useful links: More info |
