Sticky cabbage, scientifically known as Brighamia, is an intriguing outdoor plant native to the Hawaiian Islands. This plant thrives particularly on the cliffs of Kaua'i and Ni'ihau, where it adapts remarkably well to the rocky, isolated terrain, making it a robust yet captivating species.
Brighamia is known for its beautiful, fragrant flowers, which bloom in the autumn. These small, trumpet-shaped flowers are usually white or light yellow, offering a pleasant contrast to the columnar, leafy green stem. The blossoms not only enhance visual appeal but also attract moths, making them play a crucial role in the local ecosystem.
Brighamia, also known as Sticky Cabbage, thrives best in a spot with partial shade, away from direct sunlight to mimic its natural cliff habitat. Regular watering is essential to keep its soil consistently moist but well-drained. Choose a sandy, well-ventilated potting mix, which provides the perfect environment for its roots. Fertilize Brighamia every two weeks during the growing season, from spring to summer, with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to support lush, leafy growth. Reducing fertilization in the fall and winter will help mimic its natural growth cycle and promote better health.
Sticky Cabbage, also known as sprouts on skewers, serves as a creative and healthy option for outdoor grilling. When threaded onto skewers and cooked over a flame, these plants transform into a roasted, flavorful side dish. They add a delicious green twist to your typical barbecue assortment and promote a tasty way to incorporate more vegetables during outdoor cooking sessions.
