The Newest Color in America's Favorite Series!
Ornamental Cabbage Color Up Purple Hybrid
Frost just improves the color!
Upright, neat, and very long-lasting.
For years now, American gardeners have relied on Color Up to create a colorful bed, border, or edging for the chilly days of fall (and all winter in warmer areas). Now there's a new color to add to the family: dark, intense violet purple! Nothing looks more elegant or stands out more beautifully from the subdued fall tones of the border, bed, edging, or container. And it's so easy to grow!
Just start seeds indoors, covering very lightly, then transplant them right up to the beginning of the leaves. They grow green at first, then begin to color up about 3 1/2 months from sowing, quickly forming a perfectly round rosette 10 inches high and 12 inches wide. Among the first Ornamental Cabbages to show its cold-weather hues and the last to bolt, Color Up is a dependable performer ? and so striking! Try planting with Mums for spectacular fall color. And if you'd like more Color Ups, take a look at the mix of whites and reds! Packet is 25 seeds.
