We think the Alcosa Cabbage is the best choice in a savoy cabbage for home gardeners because the head is relatively small. 2-4 lb. heads are blue-green on the outside with tightly packed, crinkly, yellowish leaves on the inside. As with all of our hybrid cabbage, the Alcosa Cabbage doesn’t mind being planted close to its neighbors. It has

Acosa cabbage
This is a cabbage I grow every year. The small size is nice for me as my family is small and one head can be used in cooking a meal or in a salad. l Great flavor and easy to grow. Another cabbage I used to grow was Gonzales, a small variety with a wonderful spiciness to the flavor. Pinetree has discontinued this variety and I’d love to see it back on the list, I missed having it in the garden this year.

Alcosa Cabbage
I have been growing this cabbage for as long as you have offered it in your catalog. Love the size and flavor. Here in California, it is out winter crop so we are just planting our seedlings now. It is also beautiful growing in the garden.
