Notes
'Redbor' kale (Brassica oleracea 'Redbor') is a vegetable for food gardens, borders, and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows upright and reaches maturity in 55 days. Bees and butterflies visit the spring and summer blooms.
Pairs well with Bull's Blood beet, Berggarten sage, Everbearing strawberry, and Jacob Cline spotted beebalm.
