Notes
'Crane White' ornamental kale (Brassica oleracea 'Crane White') is a vegetable for borders, cut flower arrangements, and specimen plantings. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It has a white center and rich color that suits autumn bouquets.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Berggarten sage, and Halcyon hosta.
