New breeding in Summer Savoys, producing an attractive, round, mid green, savoyed heart, approximately 500g (1lb) in weight.

Delicious eaten raw, adding texture and taste to a summer salad.

Good holding ability during the heat of summer.

Sow February under glass for earliest crops. Sow seed on the surface of free-draining compost in trays, then lightly cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite. Place tray in a propagator at 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination which takes 4-7 days. Plant out when plants have 2-3 true leaves.

Sow outdoors March-May. Sow thinly in a well prepared seed bed, 13mm (½in) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart.

Plant out to 45cm (18in) apart each way when large enough to handle, approximately 5 weeks from sowing.

Prefers a moist, rich, well-drained soil.

Delicious taste, colour and texture in green summer salad.
