Cabbage Patch



Brassica bouquets are the biggest new trend in cut flowers right now.
Not only are they loved by shoppers but they are also creating an extra income for the UK's brassica growers who have now found a new market for their produce.
The bouquets are only sold in the autumn, during the UK brassica season but, even more importantly, the ornamental variety isn't edible, so no nibbling!




 

Brassica come in three basic hues — greens, creamy whites and violets. The stems and leaves are tough and waxy and they remain fresh as cut “flowers” for a solid week, making them a wonderful option for floral arranging.  They look great with lilies, lisianthus and leaves!
