Cabbage Anyone?

These are not roses although they resemble an open rose. They are a variety of ornamental cabbage grown for flower bouquets and arrangements. Outside in a fancy urn or wintery vase, these will last a long time, enduring frost and snow. Put some evergreens and red dogwood with them and voila! You have a lovely arrangement beside your front door that you don't have to worry about. We grow them outside so they've seen all kinds of weather!
Inside your home is fine too but due to the warmth, they will last like the average flower bouquet if the water is changed every few days and the bottom of the stems trimmed. They make a beautiful table centre all by themselves or add some greens and sparkly branches for a masterpiece!
