Ornamental Cabbage SEEDS,Pigeon WHITE (Brassica Oleracea) ANNUAL

Brassica oleracea 'Pigeon White' F1 is a refined, compact ornamental flowering kale with rich green outer leaves and a luminous creamy white center. Rounded, smooth-leaved solid heads develop on dwarf, tidy plants — color intensifies beautifully as temperatures drop below 60°F, transforming the planting into an elegant cool-weather display. Cold tolerant and easy to maintain; outstanding for fall and winter beds, border edging, and containers. Also edible, though milder in flavor than culinary kale. Late to bolt.

Growing Guide

Starting indoors: Sow seeds indoors; cover very lightly. Seeds germinate quickly. Grow transplants on and set outside several weeks before the first fall frost. About 12 weeks from sowing to a mature, fully colored rosette 10 inches tall and 12 inches wide.

Timing: Do not sow too early in warm weather — plants need cool temperatures to develop their white center coloring. Start 10–12 weeks before the first anticipated fall frost for best display.

Site and soil: Full sun; moist, well-drained soil. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing period. Keep soil moist during germination.
