Description
The Taler F1 Milan Cabbage is a summer and autumn variety, very hardy, that produces dense and heavy heads, composed of curled leaves. This cabbage can withstand the first frosts and keeps very well, making it ideal for freezing. Sowing from March to June for a harvest from August to December.
Also known as Savoy Cabbage, Curly Cabbage, Frilly Cabbage or Curly Head Cabbage, the Milan Cabbage bears the Latin name Brassica oleracea sabauda (in Latin, sabauda refers to Savoy). It belongs to the large family of Brassicaceae (formerly Cruciferae).
Originating, unsurprisingly, from Italy and more specifically from Milan, this cabbage is quite similar to the Green Cabbage, but differs in the curled or frilled appearance of its leaves. There are many varieties, with production ranging from spring to winter. By carefully selecting your seeds and spreading out the sowings over time, you can have this vegetable for a very long period.
An autumn and winter vegetable par excellence, Milan Cabbage withstands cold weather well. It is delicious raw in salads but can also be cooked, braised with sausages or even with fish. From a nutritional point of view, this leafy vegetable is remarkable: it is low in calories and very rich in vitamins C and B6, it also contains a lot of fiber and minerals like calcium.
In the garden, like almost all cabbages (Brussels Sprouts being the exception), Milan Cabbage is a demanding vegetable, requiring excellent organic fertilization and regular moisture.
Harvest: it is harvested when its head is well formed by simply cutting it at ground level.
Storage: cabbages keep quite well on the plant and can be stored for several days in the refrigerator. They also freeze very well after being blanched for 3 to 5 minutes in salted boiling water.
Gardener's tip: the main enemy of cabbage is the Cabbage White Butterfly (Pieris brassicae), a pretty creamy white butterfly with small black spots that emerges from April-May to wreak havoc all summer by devouring its leaves. Don't be caught off guard and opt for prevention by installing an insect-proof net tightly over hoop supports. These nets are easy to install and reusable to protect, for example, your carrot and leek crops.

Planting and care
Sowing:
The germination temperature of Milan cabbage is around 15° and takes about 14 days.
It is sown from March to June for a harvest from August to December.
You can sow directly in situ or prepare seedlings that will then be planted in their final position in the garden.
Preparing seedlings: In a heated greenhouse, from late autumn to the end of winter, or in a cold greenhouse or nursery in the garden for the rest of the year, sow the seeds to a depth of 1 cm (0.5 in) in a good seed compost. Lightly cover with compost or vermiculite. Don't forget to keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged!
When the young plants appear strong enough to handle, transplant them into pots if necessary, and for seedlings in a heated greenhouse, gradually acclimatise them to cooler temperatures before transplanting them into the garden when there is no longer any risk of frost.
Direct sowing: In well-amended and finely worked soil, make furrows about 1cm (0.5 in) deep, spaced 40/50 cm (16/20in) apart. Sow the seeds and cover them with a thin layer of fine soil. When the seedlings are well developed, thin them out, keeping only one plant every 60 cm (24in) or so.
Cultivation:
Milan cabbage is grown in full sun. It is a demanding vegetable that requires well-rotted, nitrogen- and potassium-rich soil. Ideally, in autumn, apply a generous amount of mature compost (about 3/4 kg per m2) by raking it in to a depth of 5 cm (2in), after loosening the soil as you would for any vegetable crop. It is not very tolerant of soil pH, which should be between 5.6 and 6.5. In acidic soil, gradually raise the pH by adding calcium in the form of Dolomite or Lime.
It is beneficial to associate it with many vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce... but avoid planting it near other Brassicas, as well as courgettes, fennel, lamb's lettuce, leeks, and strawberries.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
