Kale Redbor Seeds

Brassica oleracea (Acephala group, hybrid)

Item #0225

50 days. This kale has it all. Beautiful, ruffled leaves are tasty and have amazing color. Extremely cold tolerant, Redbor’s purple color intensifies and flavor improves as temperatures drop in the fall; plants can last even through hard freezes. Add small leaves to salads and use larger leaves as a stunning garnish. Sow with pansies, violas and snapdragons for long lasting fall color.

This packet sows two 7-foot rows.
