Notes
'Ruby Perfection' cabbage (Brassica oleracea 'Ruby Perfection') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and specimen plantings. 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. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and spreads 18 to 36 inches. Bees and butterflies visit it, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Bright Lights Swiss chard, Cilantro, and Long Island Mammoth dill.
