Flowers for All Saints’ Day should not only be attractive to the eye, but above all, durable, able to withstand low temperatures, wind and rain. However, most Poles bring it to the cemetery on November 1 which paradoxically are rather delicate and lose their decorative appearance after the first frost.
If you want to build something on the graves of your loved ones that will remain beautiful even in extreme weather and will not require complicated care, be sure to choose… ornamental cabbage. It will be one of the biggest hits of 2025.
it can be planted in a pot or in the ground depending on your preferences. This plant is highly resistant to low temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius. Its leaves will not break during heavy rainfall.
Actually, the worse the weather, the more beautiful it looks, because its colors become more intense under the influence of frost. Don’t be afraid that the decorative cabbage on the grave will be boring, because it colors pink, purple, purple and white. (colors often associated with autumn and the mood of All Souls’ Day).
Ornamental cabbage is not a picky species. However, it grows best in moist, permeable soil with a slightly acidic pH. It prefers brighter, sunnier positions.
However, it can also be placed on the darker ones. The color will simply become less intense. In addition, it does not need to be watered or fertilized very often. Just wipe its leaves from time to time, as they turn yellow from the inside.
In addition, ornamental cabbage placed next to heather, moss, ornamental pumpkins or conifers, it will certainly create interesting compositions. Cabbage in a cemetery can be a durable and original decoration for a tombstone.
Its decorative leaves resemble rose flowers in shape. It stays fresh in all conditions, which is a huge advantage over chrysanthemums, which are known for their delicacy and capriciousness. It will be pleasing to the eyes for many weeks after All Saints’ Day.
Others you can bring to the cemetery on All Saints’ Day include: mentioned earlier as well as impressive sedums and asters. If you do not exclude cut species, choose classic roses or carnations.
It is also worth considering silver plants, e.g. santolina and miniature conifers: cypress and juniper. Common ivy will probably also look interesting on the grave.
