Add lasting color to your garden and containers with our Ornamental Cabbage and Kale selection. These plants are hardy and will last well into the winter months. And while they look delicious, please do not eat!
Choose from varieties such as, Color Up White/Purple, Ruby Perfection, Redbor, Bicolor Crane, Peacock Red/White, Nagoya White/Rose/Red, Osaka Pink, Songbird Pink/White, Coral Queen/Prince, Lacinato
Most Kales/Cabbages will last you thru November and some into December. They prefer full sun but tolerate partial shade, well draining soil, and prefer to be kept evenly moist. Make sure to water throughout October and into the beginning of November. Color will get richer as it gets colder - we’ve already started to see them change here! #gethsemaneannuals

Good Afternoon and Happy Memorial Day weekend from Gethsemane! Mother Nature is treating us to clear skies, sun and warmth this holiday weekend and although conditions are perfect for grilling and parading, this extended drought is hard on our plants. Since May 1, we have gotten less than half an inch of rainfall. Don’t forget to let the hose run so water gets down to the deepest roots of your garden, especially newly planted perennials, trees, shrubs and roses. Please keep an eye on your containers as well. After the holiday, mid-week temps are expected to be in the 80s. Your containers, especially those in full sun, may need more than one watering a day. Thanks for reading and happy planting everyone! Regular hours: 9AM-4PM Every Day. Have a safe and Happy Memorial Day! #gethsemanegardencenter #gethsemaneannuals
