Good Morning Newsbee! Welcome.
yeah....a master gardener. ;)
You are in good company we have a lot of folks here who have really helped me with my gardening problems.
Have a question, husband and I went to a new home complex yesterday and their landscaping was beautiful. (probably very expensive) there was one particular shrub/bush that caught my eye and I WANT IT for our garden.
We went to a local gardening center here in TX but the man there claimed it looked like Kale, (which I don't think it is) I will try to best describe it and any and all suggestions are welcome
The leaves are of a dark purple almost frosted look, it grows fairly high, about 6-8 in from the ground, it has a pretty yellow flower growing from out of the middle. I very much doubt it is kale as kale is a cabbage and is round and low to the ground, this shrub/bush is not.
Also the dark purple leaves have frilly ends. HELP I want it..:)
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.
Good Morning Everyone.
Gee stopem, I just thought those were long legged kale. They are pretty. I saw those in Lowes.
