Description
Flowering Kale by Jenny Rainbow.
Decorative patterns of the Flowering Kale or Ornamental Cabbage with green and purple leaves makes a great natural abstract.
Ornamental cabbage and kale are very close relatives of edible cabbages and kale. They are in the same species, Brassica oleracea, and although they are still edible, they aren’t as tasty and tender as their cousins. They have been bred for looks, not flavor.
Although sometimes referred to as flowering cabbages, it’s the leaves that give the plants their color and interest as ornamentals.
Rather than the usual green or purple of traditional cabbages, the leaves of ornamental cabbages and kale have been hybridized to feature rosy and/or creamy white colors, making them look more like flowers than vegetables.
