Famosa Savoy Cabbage: Early-Maturing Gourmet Variety for Tender, Flavorful Harvests
Famosa Savoy Cabbage is an exceptional early-maturing variety that brings gourmet quality to your garden in just 48 days from transplant. This stunning cabbage boasts gorgeous dark green wrapper leaves that contrast beautifully with its bright green heads, creating an eye-catching display. Developed for its superior flavor and texture, Famosa offers a mild, tender taste that elevates both raw and cooked dishes.
Home gardeners and market growers alike will appreciate Famosa’s versatility and delicious profile. Its tender leaves are perfect for fresh salads, slaws, and wraps, while the mild flavor shines in cooked applications like stir-fries, soups, and traditional cabbage rolls. The crinkled texture of savoy cabbage adds visual interest to plates and holds sauces exceptionally well, making it a favorite among chefs and home cooks.
Famosa Savoy Cabbage forms compact plants reaching 18 inches in height, making it suitable for smaller gardens and raised beds. When given 18-24 inches of space between plants, each Famosa cabbage develops into a dense, round head weighing 2-4 pounds. This productivity, combined with its early maturation, allows for successive plantings and extended harvests throughout the growing season.
Growing Success Tips:
- Plant in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil for optimal growth
- Ensure consistent moisture, especially during head formation
- Apply a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season
- Monitor for pests like cabbage worms and aphids, treating promptly if detected
