Grow it for colour, not for eating. The rosettes become more vivid as temperatures drop, which means they look their best exactly when you need colour most. One of the easiest ways to keep your garden looking alive through the dark months.

Ornamental Cabbage (Cavolo Ornamentale – Brassica oleracea acephala) is a stunning annual variety that brings vibrant, multi coloured beauty to the winter garden. Growing to about 30cm tall, it forms decorative rosettes with green outer leaves and vividly coloured centres in shades of pink, purple, and cream. Exceptionally cold-resistant, it provides essential colour and structure in borders, containers, and beds from late autumn through early spring.

🌱 Sow Jun-Aug for winter display. Start in trays or modules.
☀️ Prefers full sun to partial shade. Best colour develops in cooler, bright conditions.
💧 Water regularly. Keep soil consistently moist for steady growth.
📏 Forms compact, colourful rosettes. Ideal for borders and pots.
