Ornamental Cabbage
Wednesday, 21 September 2005 07:46
Growers are shipping hardy mums and ornamental cabbage and the weather is unusually warm for this time of year. There have been several situations where the ornamental cabbage arrived at a retail garden center looking great only to have a scorch appear on the leaves a few days later.
Closed trucks on hot days may be stressing the ornamental cabbage, resulting in a scorch on the older/bottom leaves of the plants. Be sure the plants are watered adequately and vent the body of the truck if possible.
