Ornamental cabbage is a member of the Brassica family, which also includes cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. It is a cool-season annual, meaning that it grows best in cool weather. Ornamental cabbage is native to the Mediterranean region, but it is now grown all over the world.

Ornamental cabbage is prized for its colorful leaves. The leaves can be white, pink, purple, or red, and they often have contrasting veins or margins. Ornamental cabbage plants can grow up to 2 feet tall and wide, and they produce a rosette of leaves at the base of the plant.

Ornamental cabbage is relatively easy to grow. It can be planted from seed or transplants. If you are starting from seed, sow the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant the seedlings into the garden when they are 2-3 inches tall.
