Treated Melissa Y.R. F1 Savoy cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. sabauda) is a hybrid Savoy cabbage producing attractive round, dense, heavy heads. Very curly foliage is dark green to bluish green, while each head weighs approximately 1 to 1.5 kg. The variety matures about 75 days after sowing and holds well in the field, widening the harvest window without promising unlimited storage. Norseco lists tolerance to tipburn and Fusarium yellows. W.H. Perron packet 65-3030-010 contains approximately 50 treated seeds. It is not advertised as organic, and seed harvested from an F1 hybrid will not reproduce the cultivar true to type. Treated commercial seed must never be eaten or used as food.
Sow indoors approximately six weeks before the expected last frost date. Bury seed 1.5 cm deep, cover with fine soil, and water lightly. When plants carry three or four leaves, retain the most vigorous. Transplant into cool, deep, moist, rich soil previously amended with compost and natural fertilizer. Set plants approximately 10 cm deep on small hillocks 50 cm apart, with 40 to 80 cm between rows. Full sun promotes firm heads, although W.H. Perron indicates that light partial shade is tolerated. Keep soil moist without waterlogging and apply mulch. Rotation away from brassicas reduces the accumulation of pests and disease. Protect roots during transplanting and water each plant into its new position.
Harvest from late July through November according to sowing date, around 75 days, when the centre forms an attractive curly, dense head that feels firm. Cut at the base with a clean knife and remove damaged outer leaves without unnecessarily stripping protective foliage. Cool heads promptly when they are intended for storage. Melissa’s field holding provides flexibility, but monitor cracking, rot, and caterpillar pressure. Listed tolerances do not replace rotation, drainage, or observation. Wormwood, dill, chard, borage, beet, chamomile, celery, celeriac, shallot, endive, bean, lettuce, marjoram, mint, onion, oregano, potato, rosemary, arugula, thyme, and sage are official companions. Keep listed rival crops outside the immediate rotation and planting area.

Watering
Keep soil evenly moist after transplanting and while the head fills. Water deeply at soil level when the upper few centimetres begin drying.

Companion plants
Choose neighbours that do not invade required spacing. Short-season lettuce or radish can temporarily occupy the bed edge, then be removed before rosettes expand. Calendula, alyssum, or dill placed outside netting offer nectar and pollen to beneficial insects. They do not replace inspection or physical protection. Keep 30 to 45 cm clear around every Melissa Y.R. F1 and avoid grouping other brassicas that share the same caterpillars, flea beetles, and soilborne diseases. Rotate the plant family as a whole rather than only this cultivar.
