Notes
'Glamour Red F1' ornamental kale (Brassica oleracea 'Glamour Red F1') is a vegetable for borders, specimen planting, and food gardens. 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. It has an erect habit and a moderate growth rate. Bees and butterflies visit it, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Scallion green onion, Mediterranean spurge, and Kent Beauty oregano.
