Ornamental cabbage or garnish cabbage is best appreciated from late summer to autumn (extending into winter), so don't sow too early. These beautifully colored cabbages originated in Japan and make a colorful addition to our gardens or pots! Briefly cooked or stir-fried, they add color to dishes. Their mild flavor has long been appreciated in Asian cuisine! The leaves of this type are double-feathered, creating a very fine leaf structure (like a snowflake!)
