Kale is an all-around great annual leafy green to have in your garden. With so many varieties, there is sure to be one you and your family will like. They are quick to grow, easy to maintain, and have a cut-and-come-again growth habit (our favorite). This allows it to provide for your family over a long growing period. One plant can go a long way. Get a few varieties and you're set for kale for the season!

This scarlet kale variety can easily be grown for its ornamental qualities just as much as its taste. The plant will grow narrowly and tall over its growing period. A stunning red, purple, and green color is presented in every leaf. Its curly leaves give it texture. We love to grow this variety among our flowers, like calendulas and marigolds.

Days to Maturity: 50 days 

Plant size: 24”-36” tall

Plant spacing: 12-18” apart for mature plants, 6-10” apart for baby leaf

Sun, soil, and water requirement: Kale prefers sun but can get as little as 3 hours of sunlight a day and be just fine. Put this plant in the shadier spots in your garden if you have limited space. Prefers fertile, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Consistent watering will produce bigger plants and harvests.

Harvesting: You can begin to harvest your kale about one to two months after transplanting it into your garden. Kale leaves can be cut from the mother plant one by one, as needed, or you can harvest the entire plant all at once. If harvested as needed, it’ll continue to grow and provide for you and your family over a long growing period.

Culinary: These kale leaves work nicely in salads, stir-fries, and soups.

Nutrients: Kale is one of the most nutrient-dense veggies you can have in your garden. Packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, vitamin C, and so much more.

Companion planting: Plant near aromatic herbs, cabbage family, marigolds, nasturtiums, beets, celery, cucumbers, dill, garlic, hyssop, lettuce, mint, onions, potatoes, rosemary, sage, spinach, and swiss chard.

Keep away from pole beans, strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, and peas.
