Brassica oleracea var. sabauda
Vertus is a traditional Savoy Cabbage producing large, slightly flattened heads approximately 20 cm across. The finely crinkled, grey-green leaves form substantial heads with the tender texture and excellent flavour characteristic of Savoy cabbages.
The leaves are mild, sweet and versatile in the kitchen, tender enough to shred finely for salads and slaws while also being excellent steamed, braised, sautéed or added to soups and stews. The flexible, textured leaves are particularly good for cabbage rolls and other stuffed dishes.
A vigorous and reliable cool-season variety, Vertus develops well in full sun with rich, fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Mature plants tolerate cold conditions well, and cooler weather helps develop the sweetness and tenderness of the leaves.
Approximately 120 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations
Subtropics: Late summer to winter
Mild climates: Late summer to winter and early spring
Cold climates: Spring to summer
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep. Keep consistently moist during germination and establishment.
Transplant or thin seedlings to approximately 45–60 cm apart in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Maintain regular moisture while heads develop and harvest once they are well formed and feel firm.
If saving seed, remember that Savoy Cabbage will cross-pollinate readily with other compatible Brassica oleracea varieties, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.
Maturity: approximately 80 days.

Brassica oleracea var. longata
Walking Stick Cabbage is an extraordinary old vegetable variety grown as much for its remarkable height and sturdy stem as for its edible leaves. Plants can reach approximately 2 m tall, developing a long, strong central stalk topped with a crown of large cabbage-like leaves.
Traditionally associated with the Channel Islands, particularly Jersey, the plants became famous for an unusual second use after the growing season. The tall stems were cut, dried and hardened to make walking sticks and canes, eventually becoming a popular curiosity and tourist souvenir.
The nutritious leaves can be harvested progressively during growth and used much like kale or loose-leaf cabbage. They have also traditionally been grown as livestock and small-animal fodder, particularly for rabbits and guinea pigs. Removing the lower leaves as the plant grows encourages the development of the characteristic long, bare stem.
A vigorous and wonderfully unusual heritage vegetable, Walking Stick Cabbage prefers full sun, fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Plants benefit from protection from strong winds as they gain height.

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations
Subtropics: Late winter to spring
Mild climates: Spring
Cold climates: Spring after frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly or raise in trays, approximately 5–10 mm deep. Keep consistently moist during germination and establishment.
Transplant seedlings approximately 60–90 cm apart in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Remove lower leaves progressively if growing plants for long stems, leaving sufficient foliage at the top to maintain healthy growth. Provide support or shelter from strong winds as plants approach full height.
For traditional walking-stick use, allow the stem to mature fully before cutting in late autumn, then dry and cure thoroughly until hard.
If saving seed, remember that Walking Stick Cabbage will cross-pollinate readily with other compatible Brassica oleracea varieties, so adequate isolation is required to maintain the variety true to type.
