Does anyone know what the "cabbage" like plant is that is be planted in commercial
landscaping all about? Seems to be a winter survivor and something that might give us hope thru the
winter months. Possibility abounds.

Are you thinking of Kale?

If it looks like a cabbage, but has the colors of a coleus, and ruffled leaves, it's decorative kale.
Why won't anyone believe it's not butter ?

Thanks you guys, found decorative kale right in our back yard (5.99) for a big ones.
Went to the old Capeks which is now Yuritzy Garden Center, met the owner Ruben Chavez.

You guys have to stop by, we sure got a quality biz here. It is amazing what he did with the place.
I mentioned we were long time customers of Capeks, and he said he was proud to continue a
family owned garden center in Berwyn. He offers landscape design and paver work as well.

If the family is looking for the Halloween pumpkin, stop by, they have a beautiful selection, cheap.
He has topical in the greenhouse, and offers floral service as well.
