Description

For garden borders and beds, Ornamental Kale (Brassica oleracea Ornamental Kale Group) grows well in full sun and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It follows a biennial growth cycle with steady early care.

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.
