Notes
'Dazzling Blue' kale (Brassica oleracea 'Dazzling Blue') is a vegetable for borders, containers, 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 blue-green strap leaves have bold purple midribs, so it also works as a specimen.
Pairs well with Berggarten sage, Scallion green onion, and Dazzleberry sedum.
