stopem, it does sound like a ornamental cabbage”. I don’t use them in my flower beds.
Many varieties of kale are referred to as “flowering kales” and are grown mainly for their ornamental leaves, which are brilliant white, red, pink, lavender, blue or violet in the interior or the rosette. Most plants sold as “ornamental cabbage” are in fact kales.
Thanks, at least I have a name to call it when I visit our local gardening centers.
I have long wondered, are those flowering kales edible? Just curious.
Thank you for outing yourself as a Master Gardener. I am an amateur and often pose questions. Illstillbe has been very patient to answer my queries, but it is good to have an additional voice.
