Our Favorite Ornamental Cabbage/Kales

For beautiful ornamental color from early fall until December, plant Ornamental Cabbages or kales in beds and borders. The center area of foliage will turn from green to red, white or pink (depending on variety) in response to cool fall weather. As a plus, flowering cabbage plants are edible, often used by restaurants as attractive salad garnishes. Sow seeds indoors in June and transplant outside in July for best fall color.
