‘Des Vertus’ Savoy Winter Cabbage

Also known as the Virtuous Cabbage, because it has many good qualities! This valued hardy heirloom from France makes large flattened heads that mature late in the season for harvest overwinter. 

We found an engraving of it in our copy of Vilmorin’s famous book ‘The Vegetable Garden’ printed in 1885, and it looks very much the same after all these years.

Relatively cold-resistant and can be cut overwinter.
