Notes
Frisé Rouge kale (Brassica oleracea Frisé Rouge) is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and specimen plantings. 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 curly red leaves add color to a bed, and bees and butterflies visit the flowers in spring and summer.
Pairs well with Bouquet dill, Genovese basil, and Berggarten sage.
