Ornamental Cabbage (Brassica Oleracea) - QTY 25 SEEDS Ornamental Cabbage (Brassica Oleracea) - Start Ornamental Cabbage seeds to create a colorful bed that is cold tolerant and easy-to-maintain. Ornamental Cabbage uses include edging the flower border or planting in containers for fall and winter interest. How To Grow These seeds can be started both indoors and outdoors, but must be planted by midsummer in order to have time to develop properly before fall. Sow in a starter mix and lightly press into soil: light is needed for germination. Keep soil moist and at a temperature of around 65F-70F degrees. These seeds germinate very quickly, averaging less than a week until sprouting. Once seedlings have established, they can be transplanted. Keep temperatures as cool as possible during the growing period: this will assist healthy growth and a vivid autumn color. Leaves start out green, and progressively turn pink and white.
