Notes

'Omero' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Omero') 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. Plants reach maturity in 73 days, so you can plan your harvest early.

Pairs well with Genovese basil, Berggarten sage, Everbearing strawberry, and Six Hills Giant nepeta.
