Ornamental Kale - Kamome Red
Season: Annual
Zones: 4 - 9
Fringed leaf, dwarf. Colors: red (dark almost purple outer leaves), white (lighter green outer leaves).
Flowering Kale is an unusual yet colorful
presence in the late summer and autumn garden. This frost
tolerant annual should be grown in full sun in a moist,
well-drained soil. The
plants are best when used for late season color. Plants that
overwinter may flower in the spring.
Propagation: Propagation is by seed. Chilling the seed
for 3 days prior to planting may help germination.
We do not recommend eating the plant.
