Notes

'Buscaro' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Buscaro') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Buscaro is an F1 hybrid that takes 98 days to reach maturity. Butterflies and bees visit its blooms.

Pairs well with Scallion green onion, Kent Beauty oregano, and Green Zebra tomato.
