Notes

'Promise' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Promise') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Plants reach maturity in 96 days, and the blooms draw butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Bull's Blood beet, Kent Beauty oregano, and Wild leek.
