Description
Ornamental Cabbage
A favorite for cool season gardens. Brightly colored leaf rosettes in bi-colors of green, pink, purple and white. Colors intensify in cool weather. Great compliment to low-growing Pastel Carpet Alyssum. Edible leaves make an attractive garnish.
Planting
Select a location with full sun to part shade. Start indoors six to eight weeks before setting out. Grow as a winter crop in mild areas, or plant out in late summer for fall color in cold climates. Keep young plants evenly moist.
Note
Plant in groupings or in individual pots for the patio. Fertilize lightly throughout the season. If cabbage worms appear, treat with Bacillus thuringiensis.
