Ornamental Kale (Brassica oleracea Ornamental Kale Group) can be grown from seed for garden borders and beds. Choose full sun and well-drained soil rich in organic matter to support healthy establishment and early growth.

Use the recommended germination range to guide seed starting, and sow at the recommended depth for the crop. Keep the soil evenly moist while seedlings establish, then thin crowded seedlings so the remaining plants have room and airflow.
