Hello Pat & Kemberly,
This has been quite an education in ornamental kale and cabbage for me,
I simply was not aware there were so many wonder variations on a theme out
there. I have never paid that close attention to them before JoAn grew some
from seed this year. The local nurseries carry them from abut the middle of
August onward. Have to admit they do make a nice display ... in other
people's gardens.
