Cabbage & Kale

Bright Winter Foliage

Ornamental cabbages and kales add wonderful texture & color to winter gardens. Their leaves form rosettes of purple, rose, and white, making them look more like  flowers than vegetables. They last throughout the winter and actually get more vibrant as temperatures drop.

Steeds Holly

Deer Resistant Evergreen

Steeds Japanese holly, is an easy-care evergreen that can be grown just about anywhere. It’s a hardy little evergreen shrub that is deer resistant and can tolerate almost all temperatures.  The berries in the winter feed birds and the dense foliage creates a safe hide-away from predators.
