Notes
'Mamba' kale (Brassica oleracea 'Mamba') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. Mamba is an erect grower that matures in 65 days. It also tolerates salt, and bees and butterflies visit its flowers.
Pairs well with Dark Opal basil, Ghost pepper, Six Hills Giant nepeta, and Woodland strawberry.
