Notes

'Caraflex' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Caraflex') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It matures in 68 days. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers in spring and summer.

Pairs well with Amish Paste tomato, Scallion green onion, and Kent Beauty oregano.
