Ornamental Cabbage brings vibrant colour to the garden when everything else has finished for the year. Multi-coloured rosettes of purple, pink, white and green that look stunning in borders, pots and window boxes through autumn and winter.
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.
