90 days. The Savoy Perfection cabbage is a hardy garden crop that can be grown in climate zones three through twelve. The plant produces heads that are approximately five to seven inches in diameter, enveloped in crinkled outer leaves. After about ninety days, the heads can be harvested. They provide a sweet and delicate flavor, and do not produce the sulfur-like smell that other varieties do when cooked.

The Savoy Perfection cabbage will need partial sun, and the soil will need to remain moist. The Savoy Perfection cabbage needs two inches of water each week while growing. If sowing indoors and transplanting outside, it’s best to harden off the plants over the course of a week. When the Savoy Perfection cabbage plants are ready to be transplanted, sow them one fourth of an inch deep, with one and a half feet between the plants, in rows with three feet between them. The seedlings will do best in a composted soil. At around ninety days, the heads should be firm with a diameter of about five to seven inches. When this stage is reached, the Savoy Perfection cabbage can be harvested. When doing this, you will need to also remove the entire stem and root, to prevent the buildup of disease.
