Doubtless they were flown into England from many carbon miles away but you can easily grow your own <a title="ornamental" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/ornamental/">ornamental</a> cabbage.</p> <h2>Growing Ornamental Cabbage</h2> <ul> <li> Large ornamental plants with frilled edges and an ornamental coloured heart. Colour vary with cream, pink and maroon being popular.</li> <li>Sow seeds in spring for summer bedding or summer for late autumn planting to replace summer bedding. Sow seeds 1/16in deep in a good seed compost. Germination takes 14-21 days</li> <li>When large enough to handle, transplant to 3in pots. Harden off spring sown plants and plant out 12-18in apart in the border. Pot up summer sown plants into 5in pots or <a title="containers" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/containers/">containers</a> and stand out of doors on a sheet of polythene to prevent root penetration into the soil.</li> <li>Water regularly and give weak doses of a high Nitrogen fertiliser every 14 days. Plant out in late summer in beds, window boxes, containers, etc.</li> <li>The leaf colour change occurs as the night temperature drops in late summer.</li> <li>In late winter they produce a tall flower spike which makes an unusual floral decoration.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Cabbage Northern Lights F1 </strong><a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2283&awinaffid=81944&clickref=&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thompson-morgan.com/seeds1/product/3428/1.html"><strong> </strong>Seeds from Thompson Morgan </a><br /> <strong>Nutritional Information</strong></p> <ul> <li> Eaten raw or cooked, <a title="cabbages" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/cabbages/">cabbages</a> are an excellent source of Vitamin C.</li> <li>Try to use all healthy outer leaves as the darkest green leaves contain the most nutrients.</li> <li>Ornamental cabbages are edible when young although the flavour can be rather strong.</li> <li>Vary the colour of your coleslaw with some chopped ornamental leaves.</li> </ul> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_29372" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a29372" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a29372" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX29372X5X0XaXarticle_rater_29372Xarticle_loader_29372X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX29372X4X0XaXarticle_rater_29372Xarticle_loader_29372X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX29372X3X0XaXarticle_rater_29372Xarticle_loader_29372X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX29372X2X0XaXarticle_rater_29372Xarticle_loader_29372X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX29372X1X0XaXarticle_rater_29372Xarticle_loader_29372X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_29372" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a29372">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
