Saint John Savoy Cabbage

Milan Cabbage, also known as Savoy Cabbage, is an old French early variety, with a good yield.
It has multi-hued shades of green foliage, tighter at the centre and gradually unfurling to reveal curly, puckered leaves. The centre of the cabbage is round, compact, and middle-sized.
Little extra: harvest the cabbage before they reach their maximum size, to appreciate their tenderness.
