Ornamental kale and cabbage are popular cool-season plants grown primarily for their striking foliage rather than their taste. They add vibrant color and texture to gardens, especially during the fall and early winter months when many other plants have finished blooming. Here's a bit more about them:

Ornamental Kale

  • Appearance: It has ruffled, curly leaves that come in shades of purple, pink, white, and green. The color intensifies as temperatures drop.
  • Growing conditions: Thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers cool weather. Ideal temperatures are between 40°F and 70°F (4°C and 21°C).
  • Uses: Mainly grown for its decorative value in flower beds, borders, or containers. It is not typically eaten because of its bitter taste.

Ornamental Cabbage

  • Appearance: Features smooth, broad leaves that form a head similar to traditional cabbage. The leaves are typically variegated with shades of white, pink, purple, or green.
  • Growing conditions: Like ornamental kale, it prefers cooler temperatures and is often planted in fall. Full sun and well-drained soil are ideal.
  • Uses: Grown for aesthetic appeal, especially in colder months when many other plants fade. It can be a beautiful addition to winter gardens.

Both ornamental kale and cabbage are hardy and can withstand frosts, often thriving in colder climates where other plants may not survive. Their vibrant colors make them a popular choice for adding life to fall and winter landscapes.
