Notes
'Coral Queen Red' flowering kale (Brassica oleracea 'Coral Queen Red') is a vegetable for borders, specimen planting, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is one of the more cold-hardy crops and can keep growing through light freezes with some winter protection. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The erect plants grow at a moderate pace. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Bull's Blood beet, Berggarten sage, and Everbearing strawberry.
