How to Grow Yukina Savoy Cabbage
In temperate areas, sow seeds in spring/summer after the last frost or late summer/early fall. Plant year-round in tropical climates. Plan on needing to fertilize. Exposure to frost or prolonged temperatures below 50 F may result in bolting. Never allowing the soil to dry out minimizes potential problems. It is recommended to mulch after planting to reduce the likelihood of rots and to improve soil moisture.
Note: Bud differentiation and bolting result from low temperatures of 41 F for a week or 50 F for two weeks. For spring harvest, transplant seedlings with 5-7 true leaves raised at 73-75 F during the day and over 53 F at night. Avoid planting brassicas in the same spot more often than every sixth year.
