What is Ornamental Cabbage?
Ornamental cabbage is a varietal of cabbage which is grown for its colorful, showy leaves. It is also sometimes known as ornamental or flowering kale. Just like table cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and kohlrabi, ornamental cabbage is classified as Brassica oleracea, and it has acquired a distinctive look through years of assiduous cultivation. It is also technically edible, although it can get extremely bitter and the leaves tend to turn a dull gray when they are cooked.
