Scarlet
30 days baby; 50 days mature. Scarlet Kale is an open-pollinated variety with red, curled leaves. The dark red color is blended with a blue-green background towards the center of the leaf. Plants grow 30 to 40" tall and feature curly purple leaves; the hue of the leaves becomes more intense after the first frosts.
Planting Instructions: Kale grows best in cool weather. When established, it will tolerate frost. Can be sown in garden as soon as danger of hard frost is past.
Sow seeds ½ inches deep, one inch apart, in rows 24 inches apart. Cover with loose soil. Thin plants to about twelve inches. Avoid disease by not planting where other Brassica (cole crops) plants have grown in the past year or two.
Provides a continuous supply of tasty leaves if you pick from the bottom up. It is cold hardy and the flavors become sweeter and more complex after a hard frost.
