What you need to know to Plant & Grow Fall Colour Flowering Cabbage
This plant is an excellent choice for a cool-weather garden, providing a unique texture and vibrant colour when most other annuals are fading.
- Sowing Indoors: Start seeds indoors in a soil-less mix about 6 weeks before your desired outdoor transplant date (mid to late May). Sow seeds 12 mm deep and maintain a temperature of around 20°C for germination. Once sprouted, grow the seedlings on under lights at a cooler temperature of 14°C until they are ready to be moved outside.
- Sowing Outdoors : Sow seeds directly outdoors from mid-May to mid-June. Germination typically occurs in 10–14 days.
- Upkeep: Once the plants reach about 5 cm in height, thin the seedlings so they are approximately 60 cm apart to allow ample room for their ornamental heads to develop.
