Notes
'Crane Pink' ornamental kale (Brassica oleracea 'Crane Pink') is a vegetable for borders, cut flower arrangements, and specimen plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. It ranks among the more cold-hardy crops, and with some winter protection it keeps growing through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The rich color makes lovely autumn bouquets, and bees and butterflies visit it.
Pairs well with Coral Sunset peony, Halcyon hosta, and Genovese basil.
