Notes
'Farao' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Farao') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 matures in 65 days, so you can harvest it fairly early. Butterflies and bees visit the spring and summer blooms.
Pairs well with Amish Paste tomato, Scallion green onion, and Lemon balm.
