Notes
'Osaka Red' flowering cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Osaka Red') is a vegetable for borders, specimen plantings, 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 grows upright at a moderate pace and tolerates salt. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Red Sails lettuce, Lemon balm, Angelica, and Krossa Regal hosta.
