Scarlet Kale
From Hudson Valley Seed Company. Purchased in 2023.
Description and growing instructions below from Hudson Valley Seeds.
Lofty kale deepens in color when temperatures drop.
A truly purple, curly kale that is well-suited to the fall garden. Compact plants are quite beautiful and can easily be worked into edible landscapes, including mixed container arrangements. Extremely cold hardy plants make beautiful bunched greens and are an excellent choice for the winter garden.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS.
Direct sow Dino Kale about a month before last frost. Or, sow under protection 8 weeks earlier, then transplant about a month before last frost. For a young, tender fall crop, sow 3-4 months before first fall frost. Avoid planting at edge of garden, as slugs love kale and will creep in for nightly dining. Harvest a handful of individual outer leaves from each plant; mature plants will be ready for another harvest in a few days.
