Description

A truly-the-best-of-the-kales collection, with little and large of both the ‘Red Bor’ (compact ‘Curly Scarlet’ and giant ‘Redbor’) and Tuscan Kale types (compact ‘Black Magic’ and giant ‘Nero Di Toscana’), with ‘Peacock’ there for contrast, growing in the garden and picked for as a baby leaf for a salad bowl.

This collection contains 3 seedlings each of:
  • Kale 'Peacock White' F1
  • Kale 'Nero di Toscana'
  • Kale 'Redbor' F1 Hybrid
  • Kale 'Black Magic' F1
  • Kale 'Curly Scarlet'

Care Tips

Grows best on soil which has been manured the previous autumn. Protect against cabbage white butterflies with fine netting. Firm the soil well around plant base to prevent wind rock and provide stakes to support tall plants in autumn.
