Description

Ornamental Kale (Brassica oleracea Ornamental Kale Group) is a biennial garden plant suited to garden borders and beds. Grow it in full sun with well-drained soil rich in organic matter and steady care while seedlings establish.

Prepare the planting area before sowing and use the recommended germination range for seed starting. Keep the soil evenly moist as young plants develop, then thin crowded seedlings so the remaining plants have room and airflow.
