Notes
'Ornamental Cabbage' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Ornamental Cabbage') is a vegetable for borders, specimen planting, and food gardens. 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. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Red Sails lettuce, Plum Pudding coral bells, and Dill.
