Notes
'Clarissa' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Clarissa') is a vegetable for borders, specimen planting, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is a late-season savoy with an erect habit. Bees and butterflies visit its yellow and white spring and summer blooms.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Green Zebra tomato, and Rozanne crane's-bill.
