Description

A seed-started Ornamental Kale (Brassica oleracea Ornamental Kale Group) suits garden borders and beds. This biennial garden plant benefits from full sun and well-drained soil rich in organic matter from the beginning.

Use loose, prepared medium for seed starting within the recommended germination range. Keep the soil evenly moist as plants emerge and thin crowded seedlings so the remaining plants have room and airflow.
