Notes
'Kale, Purple Reign' broccoli (Brassica oleracea 'Kale, Purple Reign') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, specimen plantings, and pollinator 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 dark purple foliage and an erect habit. Butterflies and bees visit it, and it tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Green Zebra tomato, Borage, and Jacob Cline spotted beebalm.
