Know before you buy
While these are members of the cabbage family, the Pigeon series is specifically bred for its aesthetic appeal rather than culinary use. They are considered ornamental and are not recommended for consumption.
To enjoy the vibrant colors during the fall and early winter, start your seeds indoors about 10 to 12 weeks before your expected first frost date. This allows the plants to reach maturity just as the temperatures begin to drop.
Yes, for the most vibrant color development in the centers, these plants perform best in full sun. Ensure they are planted in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Given their potential spread of 4 to 10 inches, you should space them about 8 to 12 inches apart. This provides enough airflow to keep the plants healthy while allowing them to create a dense, full look in your garden beds.
No, the signature vibrant centers develop as the plants mature and are triggered by cooler temperatures. You can expect the distinct purple, red, and white centers to intensify as the season progresses toward winter.
No, these are raw, untreated seeds. They have not been coated with fungicides or other chemical treatments, making them a suitable choice for gardeners who prefer organic-style growing practices.
