About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A proven, open pollinated autumn and winter savoy cabbage from France that you harvest from October right into the frosts. The flat round, dark green heads are heavily blistered and stand well in the bed, so you can cut them portion by portion. Vertus likes cool conditions and needs a long time in the ground, but it repays you with sturdy heads that take frost well.
Hearty and savoury; a light frost makes the flavour milder and sweeter. Classically braised as a side dish or used in a substantial winter soup.
