I am not a fan of ornamental cabbage or kale. It's not that it isn't pretty. On the contrary, the colors are lovely and the feathery leaves of the plants are great.
While they are attractive plants, they are also, very distinctly, vegetables. Every time I see one of these ornamentals in a garden, I want to reach out and pick them for dinner. And guess what? They're perfectly edible.
Maybe that's part of my issue with seeing these plants in a garden such as this. In a few weeks, when the plants wilt or overgrow and look ragged, a landscaping firm is going to pull them all up and mulch them. That's a lot of soup getting thrown out.
